TEMERAD
"No direction is correct, so any direction must be subject to instant
change. The eye must see in every direction, and the ear must hear
in every direction." -Methelas the Old, from the Eight Rules
Possibly the oldest form of unarmed combat, the ancient art

of Temerad was first practiced by elf pilgrims and seekers of
wisdom. Although elves are the primary users of this style,
Temerad masters do occasionally accept students of other
races, provided that their hearts are pure and they truly seek
enlightenment among the trees.
As suggested by its name (which means "from wind and
water" in Elven), Temerad is based on the movements of
natural forces. A practitioner of this style confounds her
opponent by moving constantly, seemingly reacting to blows
even before they are struck. Temerad fighters rarely use
weapons, although some warriors combine this style with the
sword-fighting techniques practiced by most elves.
Temerad emphasizes humility and harmony with nature.
Its masters accept only students who are good in alignment.

Tables
APPENDIX 1: FEATS, FLAWS, AND STYLES TABLES
Feats, Flaws, and Fighting styles are listed alphabetically under the appropriate group. Feats that have a prerequisite of only one other feat
are listed underneath the prerequisite feat. This is emulates the layout of feats in the PLAYER’S HANDBOOK. The only exception to this rule is if
a feat required another feat that was not a general feat, then it was listed under the specialized feat. For example, the feat Vengeance of Noon
lists Power Attack as one of its prerequisites, but since it required a specialized feat, it was listed under the birth feat: Born Under A High
Sun.
As we all know by now, skills use ranks, and there is no point in listing “rank” after each skill. Therefore I formatted skills as: Skill #. For
example Spellcraft 5 would simply mean you need 5 ranks of Spellcraft as a prerequisite. Concentration 4 would mean you need four or more
ranks of Concentration. A - after a prerequisite refers to that number or less. For example Con 11- would mean you need to have an 11 or less
in Constitution as a prerequisite. These are usually only found on flaws.
Some prerequisites require special abilities or spell levels. To save space I removed the “ability to” portion. For example “ability to rage or
frenzy” is listed as “rage or frenzy”. In the case of spells where it requires a level, they are listed as “spells #”, “divine spells #”, or “arcane spells
#”.
The full text of the feat does not have any of these modifications; refer to them if there is any confusion.
Entries in purple appear in the Player’s Handbook and are listed here due to new feats building upon them.
