You are very well-connected in the political arena and are<br />

able to perform very well in your home city. This feat<br />

must be taken once for every city in which you wish to be<br />

politically active.<br />

Prerequisite: Gather Information 10 ranks<br />

Benefit: You receive a +4 bonus to any skill checks made<br />

while acting as a Lieutenant for a Noble House or other<br />

faction of the drow. This bonus applies only to actions<br />

taken in the Game of Bones.<br />

Press the Attack (General)<br />

You are unwilling to let your enemy leave the battle. If he<br />

tries to step away from you in combat, you may follow him<br />

immediately.<br />

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +6, Combat Reflexes,<br />

Improved Initiative<br />

Benefit: If one of the enemies in a square you threaten<br />

takes a 5-foot step to get away from you, you may<br />

immediately follow him. This uses up one of your attacks<br />

of opportunity.<br />

Normal: You must wait until your turn to follow an<br />

opponent who leaves melee.<br />

Relentless (General)<br />

You take advantage of every opening your opponent gives<br />

you, punishing him for the slightest mistake in combat.<br />

Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes<br />

Benefit: Any critical threat that you make with a weapon as<br />

part of a successful attack of opportunity is automatically<br />

confirmed without need for a further roll.<br />

Rend the Throat (<strong>Drow</strong>)<br />

Your teeth have been filed into needle-like fangs and you<br />

have mastered the art of using them as a formidable and<br />

terrifying weapon against your enemies.<br />

Prerequisite: Kanahraun sub-race<br />

Benefit: When you succeed with a grapple attack in melee,<br />

you may make an additional bite attack at your base attack<br />

bonus on your opponent as a free action. <strong>The</strong> attack deals<br />

d6 damage plus your Strength modifier. If the opponent<br />

is flatfooted or otherwise unable to use his Dexterity<br />

against you, this may be used as a sneak attack. This feat<br />

cannot be used against a foe in heavy armour, as there is no<br />

appropriate target for the attack.<br />

Sacrificial Spell (Metamagic)<br />

You may fulfil part of the experience point cost of your<br />

spells through the sacrifice of another person.<br />

Prerequisite: Craft Lifebinding Item<br />

Benefit: By killing another sentient being in a ritual<br />

sacrifice, you may use your knowledge of lifebinding (see<br />

page 188) to power part of the experience point cost of<br />

spells which require the expenditure of experience points.<br />

A sacrificial spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than<br />

the spell’s actual level.<br />

Silken Step (<strong>Drow</strong>)<br />

You have learned to move with such grace and care that<br />

you can avoid registering on an opponent’s tremorsense<br />

capability.<br />

Prerequisite: Dex 17, Stealthy<br />

Benefit: When using the Silken Step feat, you may not be<br />

detected by an opponent’s tremorsense ability. Speed is<br />

reduced to one-third normal while using this ability, which<br />

also adds a penalty of –10 to any skill check rolls made.<br />

Actions requiring dramatic movement, such as tumbling,<br />

casting a spell with somatic components or making an<br />

attack automatically result in your immediate detection<br />

by the creature with tremorsense. If you are detected, you<br />

may not ‘hide’ from that creature again by the use of this<br />
