General and Skill Feat Descriptions

PF2 General or Skill Feats – Additional Lore – General Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-259)
• Traits: General, Skill
• Prerequisites trained in Lore
• Your knowledge has expanded to encompass a new field. Choose an additional Lore skill subcategory. You become trained in it. At 3rd, 7th, and 15th levels, you gain an additional skill increase you can apply only to the chosen Lore subcategory.
• Special You can select this feat more than once. Each time you must select a new subcategory of Lore and you gain the additional skill increases to that subcategory for the listed levels.

PF2 General Feats – Ancestral Paragon – General Feat 3

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-259)
• Traits: General
• Whether through instinct, study, or magic, you feel a deeper connection to your ancestry. You gain a 1st-level ancestry feat.

PF2 General or Skill Feats – Assurance – General Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr p258)
• Traits: Fortune, General, Skill
• Even in the worst circumstances, you can perform basic tasks. Choose a skill your trained in. You can forgo rolling a skill check for that skill to instead receive a result of 10 + your proficiency bonus (do not apply any other bonuses, penalties, or modifiers)
• Special: You can select this feat multiple times. Each time, choose a different skill and gain the benefits for that skill.

PF2 General or Skill Feats – Automatic Knowledge – General Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr p258)
• Traits: General, Skill
• Requirements: Expert in selected Skill, Assurance in selected Skill.
• You know basic facts off the top of your head. Choose a skill you’re an expert in that has the Recall Knowledge action and for which you have the Assurance feat. You can use the Recall Knowledge action with that skill as a free action once per round. If you do, you must use Assurance on the skill check.
• Special: You can select this feat multiple times. Each time, choose a different skill and gain the benefits for that skill. You can use Automatic Knowledge with any skills you have chosen, but you can still use Automatic Knowledge only once per round

PF2 General and Skill Feats – Battle Medicine – Medicine Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-258), Errata 1.0 – 2019-10-30
• Traits: General, Healing, Manipulate, Skill
• Action: One Standard Action
• Prerequisite: Trained in Medicine
• You can patch up yourself or an adjacent ally, even in combat. Attempt a Medicine check with the same DC as for Treat Wounds, and restore a corresponding amount of Hit Points; this does not remove the wounded condition. As with Treat Wounds, you can attempt checks against higher DCs if you have the minimum proficiency rank. The target is then temporarily immune to your Battle Medicine for 1 day.
• Errata: Changed words around healing

PF2 General Feats – Fleet – General Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr p261)
• Traits: General
• You move more quickly on foot. Your Speed increases by 5 ft.

PF2 General and Skill Feats – Forager – Survival Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-261)
• Traits: General, Skill
• Prerequisite: Trained in Survival
• When using Survival to Subsist, if you roll any result worse than a success, you get a success. On a success, you can provide subsistence living for yourself and four additional creatures, and on a critical success, you can take care of twice as many creatures as on a success.
• Each time your proficiency rank in survival increases, double the number of creatures you can take care of on a success (eight at expert, sixteen at master, thirty-two at legendary). You can choose to care for half the number of additional creature and provide a comfortable living instead of subsistence living.
• Multiple smaller creatures or creature with significantly smaller appetites than a human are counted as a single creature for this feat, and larger creatures or those with significantly greater appetites each count as multiple creatures. The GM determines how much a non-human creature needs to eat.

PF2 General and Skill Feats – Hobnobber – Survival Skill Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-263)
• Traits: General, Skill
• Prerequisite: Trained in Diplomacy
• You are skilled at learning information through conversation. The Gather Information exploration activity takes you half as long as normal (typically reducing the time to 1 hour). If you’re a master in Diplomacy and you Gather Information at the normal speed, when you attempt to do so and roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead. There is still no guarantee that a rumor you learn with Gather Information is accurate.

PF2 General Feats – Incredible Initiative – General Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-263)
• Traits: General
• You react more quickly than others can. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to initiative rolls.

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr-261)
• Traits: General
• Actions: Reaction
• Trigger: While you have your shield raised, you would take damage from a physical attack
• You snap your shield in place to ward off a blow. Your shield prevents you from taking an amount of damage up to the shield’s hardness. You and the shield each take any remaining damage, possibly breaking or destroying the shield.

PF2 General Feats – Toughness – General Feat 1

• Source: Core Rulebook (rb-cr p268), Errata 1.0 – 2019-10-30
• Traits: General
• You can withstand more punishment than most before succumbing. Increase your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value (page 459).
