Armor Proficiency	Light	Medium	Heavy
Allowed armor	Light	Light and Medium	Light, Medium and Heavy
Prerequisites	None	Armor Proficiency: Light	Armor Proficiency: Medium

Dueling

Feat	Dueling	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attack bonus	+1	+2	+3
Defense bonus	+1	+2	+3

Bonuses apply when characters focus on using single one-handed weapons in battle due to the efficiency of this form of combat. This applies to both ranged and melee weapons, but it does not apply when using a blaster rifle or heavy weapon.

This feat is not available to an Expert Droid.

Two-Weapon Fighting

Feat	Two-Weapon Fighting	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Dual Wield Penalty	-6 (main hand) / -6 (off hand)	-4 (main hand) / -4 (off hand)	-2 (main hand) / -2 (off hand)

This feat reduces the attack penalty of a character wielding a double-bladed weapon or two weapons (one in each hand). The normal penalties of -6 (main hand) / -10 (off hand) are reduced.

Use of a "balanced" weapon in the off hand can further reduce the attack penalty by 2/0, resulting in 0 main hand penalty when mastered.

Master Two-Weapon Fighting is not available to an Expert Droid.

Droid Upgrade

Droid Upgrade	Class 1	Class 2	Class 3
Allowed ugrades	Level 1	Levels 1-2	Levels 1-3
Granted	Droid	Level 7 Droid	Level 13 Droid

As a droid gains experience, its programming becomes more adaptable to new situations. This allows it to accommodate more sophisticated upgrades.

Passive

These feats do not require character action.

Toughness

Feat	Toughness	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Vitality bonus per level up	+1	+1	+2
Damage		-2	-2

Vitality bonus is retroactive for levels previously gained.

Damage is subtracted after any shield and Energy Resistance.

According to Feedback, damage is normally subtracted from the weapon's damage rather than any Strength modifier, bonus damage from feats or Massive Criticals, Weapon Specialization or Sneak Attack.

When items or their upgrades add damage of any type, this feat subtracts from each separately: thus a Baragwin Assault Blade's 2-12 physical damage, 2-12 energy damage and 2-12 sonic damage are each reduced to 0-10.

Conditioning

Feat	Conditioning	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Bonus to all saving throws	+1	+2	+3

This feat is not available to droids.

Uncanny Dodge

Feat	Uncanny Dodge	Uncanny Dodge 2
Granted	Level 4 Scout	Level 7 Scout
Grenade Difficulty Class	-2	-4

A character with this feat retains the Dexterity bonus to Defense even when surprised by camouflaged opponents.

Although according to the description the character gains on saves versus grenade, according to Feedback this feat actually reduces its Difficulty Class instead.

Scoundrel's Luck

Feat	Scoundrel's Luck	Improved	Master
Granted	Scoundrel	Level 6 Scoundrel	Level 12 Scoundrel
Defense bonus	+2	+4	+6

Scoundrels have a knack for getting in trouble, but to compensate, they also possess an incredible instinct for survival.

This feat is always active.

Jedi Sense

Sense	Jedi	Knight	Master
Granted	Jedi	Level 6 Jedi	Level 12 Jedi
Defense bonus	+2	+4	+6

The Jedi develops a connection to the Force that allows them to better sense incoming attacks.

This feat is always active.

Jedi Defense

Feat	Jedi Defense	Advanced	Master
Prerequisites	Jedi Lightsaber	Level 4 Jedi Lightsaber	Level 8 Jedi Lightsaber
Blaster Bolt Deflection bonus		+3	+6
Granted	Jedi

This feat allows a character with an equipped lightsaber to deflect blaster bolts at any time. When a character is fired upon, an opposed roll is made against the attack. If the result is greater than the attack roll, the blaster bolt is deflected. If the attack is beaten by 10 or more, the bolt is deflected back at the enemy.

The opposed roll is only made if a character is fired upon from within the 180° arc in front of that character, a lightsaber is equipped in the main or off hand (although it's never made when using Throw Lightsaber, even if one remains in the off hand), and the character isn't debilitated.

According to Feedback, the opposed roll is simply the sum of a d20 roll, any Jedi Defense bonus, the Jedi's base attack bonus and any item bonuses from the following:

Source	Blaster Bolt Deflection	Description
Hands	+5	Advanced Stabilizer Gloves
Lightsaber crystal	+5	Crystal, Jenruax
	+4	Crystal, Solari
	+7	Crystal, Jenruax
	+3	Krayt Dragon Pearl
	+5	Crystal, Jenruax
	+8	Crystal, Upari

Maximum total bonus is thus +35 (Master Jedi Defense 6 + item bonus 29). Although when a lightsaber has two crystals granting bonuses only the highest is displayed in its description, according to Feedback the bonuses from both crystals are actually added.

Any On Hit properties, including Sniper Shot stuns, can still affect the deflecting character (but never the attacker) if the attack roll succeeds before the bolt can be deflected or returned.

Damage inflicted by returned bolts is based on the damage that would have been inflicted on the character, after Damage Immunity, Shields, Toughness and Damage Resistance (Combat Difficulty doesn't affect damage inflicted by bolts returned by you and your party, but it does affect those returned against you and your party: the latter isn't displayed in Feedback and isn't what's displayed by floating numbers, but it is what's displayed by actual Vitality loss).

Consequently, blaster bolt deflection isn't of much defensive use if the character (or party) can reliably debilitate opponents, or that character has high defense or damage reduction (more specifically, shields or Improved Energy Resistance). Although high defense won't affect its offensive use, even with little or no damage reduction it should take far longer to kill enemies with returned bolts than to attack them directly.

Force Immunity

Force Immunity	Fear	Stun	Paralysis
Granted	Jedi Sentinel	Level 6 Jedi Sentinel	Level 12 Jedi Sentinel
Immunity to debilitating effect	Fear, Horror and Insanity Plasma Grenades Flame throwers	Force Push and Force Wave Stun Critical Strikes and Sniper Shots Concussion Grenades Flash mines Stun rays On Hit: Stun	Stasis and Stasis Field CryoBan Grenades Carbonite projectors On Hit: Paralyze

These feats are always active, so level > 11 Jedi Sentinels can only be debilitated by Force Whirlwind, or Wound, Choke or Kill.

None of these feats counters the effect of Adhesive Grenades because they are not actually debilitating.

Force Focus

Feat	Force Focus	Improved	Master
Granted	Jedi Consular	Level 6 Jedi Consular	Level 12 Jedi Consular
Force power Difficulty Class	+1	+2	+4

This feat adds to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against the character's Force powers. This feat is always active.

Logic Upgrade

Logic Upgrade	Combat	Tactician	Battle Droid
Granted	Droid	Level 6 Droid	Level 12 Droid
Defense bonus	+2	+4	+6

This feat is always active.

Action

These feats require character action, such as attacking or using a skill.

Power Attack

Feat	Power Attack	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attack penalty	-3	-3	-3
Damage bonus	+5	+8	+10
Granted	Soldier

This feat only applies to melee weapons and lightsabers.

Attack penalty and damage bonus apply to every attack in a combat round. Critical hit doubles bonus damage.

This feat is not available to droids.

Flurry

Feat	Flurry	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attacks per round	+1	+1	+1
Defense and attack penalty	-4	-2	-1
Granted	Scout

This feat allows a character to make an extra melee attack during the round. This is made with the main hand when wielding a double-bladed weapon or two weapons.

Attack penalty applies to every attack in a combat round.

This feat is not available to droids.

Critical Strike

Feat	Critical Strike	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Defense penalty	-5	-5	-5
Critical Threat range	x2	x3	x4
Granted	Scoundrel

This feat increases the Critical Threat range of melee attacks.

Base Critical Threat range	Keen Critical Threat range
20-20 (5%)	19-20 (10%)
19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)

Lightsabers and Short Lightsabers all have base Critical Threat range 19-20 (10%), while Double-Bladed Lightsabers only have 20-20 (5%). According to Feedback, any Keen bonus is additive with Critical Strike bonuses, resulting in the following:

Feat	Base Critical Threat range		Keen Critical Threat range
	20-20 (5%)	19-20 (10%)	19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)
Critical Strike	19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)	18-20 (15%)	15-20 (30%)
Improved	18-20 (15%)	15-20 (30%)	17-20 (20%)	13-20 (40%)
Master	17-20 (20%)	13-20 (40%)	16-20 (25%)	11-20 (50%)

If the attack hits, the target is stunned for 6 seconds unless they make a Fortitude save at a DC of the attacking character's level + attacking character's Strength modifier. The target is not stunned until the end of the character's attack round.

Stun can also be prevented by Force Immunity: Stun, or Immunity: Mind-Affecting.

This feat is not available to droids.

Power Blast

Feat	Power Blast	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attack penalty	-3	-3	-3

According to Feedback, no attacks are gained when using Knight or Master Speed.

Item	Description	World	Source	Bonus Feat
Head	Davik's Visor	Taris	Davik Kang

Davik's Visor grants Improved Power Blast even without Power Blast (it just isn't added to the Feats section of the Abilities screen without it), but it doesn't allow Master Power Blast to be selected.

Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8

19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)

Heavy weapons all have Critical Threat range 20-20 (5%). According to Feedback, any Keen bonus is additive with Sniper Shot bonuses, resulting in the following:

Feat	Base Critical Threat range		Keen Critical Threat range
	20-20 (5%)	19-20 (10%)	19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)
Sniper Shot	19-20 (10%)	17-20 (20%)	18-20 (15%)	15-20 (30%)

Master	17-20 (20%)	13-20 (40%)	16-20 (25%)	11-20 (50%)

If the attack hits, the target is stunned for 6 seconds unless they make a Fortitude save at a DC of the attacking character's level + attacking character's Intelligence modifier. The target is not stunned until the end of the character's attack round.

Stun can also be prevented by Force Immunity: Stun, or Immunity: Mind-Affecting.

Damage	1-6	2-12	3-18	4-24	5-30	6-36	7-42	8-48	9-54
Average	3.5	7	10.5	14	17.5	21	24.5	28	31.5

This feat adds points of extra damage to attacks when the target can't respond to the attacker. The extra damage is applied to attacks made from behind the target, attacks against stunned or otherwise immobilized targets, and any attacks made while in Stealth Mode (combat cancels Stealth Mode, but the first attack receives the bonus).

Sneak Attack only works if the target is within 10 meters. The extra damage is not multiplied in the case of a critical hit.

Force Jump

Feat	Force Jump	Improved	Master
Prerequisites	Jedi Guardian Lightsaber	Level 6 Jedi Guardian Lightsaber	Level 12 Jedi Guardian Lightsaber
Attack and damage bonus		+2	+4
Granted	Jedi Guardian	Level 6 Jedi Guardian	Level 12 Jedi Guardian

The Jedi knows that if diplomacy fails, combat must be swift and decisive. When an opponent at range is targeted with a standard lightsaber melee attack, this feat allows Guardians to make a quick series of jumps and rolls to close distance almost instantly. This feat is automatic when wielding a lightsaber and targeting opponents with a standard melee attack from more than 10 meters away. The Jedi must have a clear line of sight to the opponent. NOTE: Using a feat or special attack negates this ability.

Contrary to its description and according to Feedback, its attack and damage bonuses are added to every attack in a combat round, not just the first strike. A critical hit doubles bonus damage.

While equipping a lightsaber is a prerequisite, it doesn't need to be in the main hand: one in the off hand with a melee weapon in the main hand still allows this feat to be activated.

This feat counts as a Sneak Attack when opponents are attacked from beyond their own combat range since they have not yet engaged. However, once engaged in combat this no longer counts as a Sneak Attack.

Unique

Unique feats are restricted to particular characters, rather than classes, who get them for free.

Wookiee Toughness

This feat represents the innate toughness that Zaalbar has developed as a result of his Wookiee heritage and the hard life he has lived as a slave and fugitive. Any damage he suffers is automatically reduced by 2, and he gains an additional +2 vitality points each time he levels up, over and above any Constitution modifier.

Bonuses are equivalent to Master Toughness, but the two are separate feats and Zaalbar can benefit from both (as demonstrated by his brother, Chuundar).

Battle Meditation

This rare ability allows Bastila to coordinate large fleets or armies during wartime, influencing base emotion and morale on a grand scale. It can have a dramatic effect on the tide of a battle, but is not applicable to small-scale combat.

This feat is just a plot device, which has no effect in tactical combat.

Blaster Integration

This feat gives the adaptable T3-M4 unit the ability to integrate blasters into its weapons systems. Special universal ports allow internal placement of most models of blaster pistol, tapping the energy pack and emitters as though factory installed.

Force Sensitive

Jedi training affects each Padawan uniquely, allowing them to grow in ability while addressing personal flaws. On rare occasions, however, exceptional individuals open doors to strengths they did not know they had. This feat represents a heightened connection to the Force previously unseen in a newly trained Jedi. This feat grants 40 additional Force Points to the character's base total.

Main character Jedi gets this feat for free.

Force Camouflage

Because of her unusual heritage, Juhani has developed her Force powers in unexpected ways, as shown by her almost subconscious ability to simply not be seen. This physical manipulation of light and sound allows her to go unnoticed even in a direct line of sight, and is equally effective against droids and living beings. Juhani does not require a stealth field generator to enter Stealth mode.

This feat is really just a plot device: Stealth isn't a class skill for Juhani, and as a Jedi Guardian she doesn't need it.
