| - | '':'' <br> | + | ''Cleave:'' If a cataclysm deals a creature enough damage to make it drop (that is, render it unconscious or dead), it gets an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. It can take up to two 5-foot steps before making this extra attack. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. For each 5-foot step the cataclysm forgoes, it may make an additional attack after dropping an opponent at a penalty (-2 for the first additional attack, and -4 for the second) It can use this ability once per round.

It may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed. As a cataclysm has X prowess invested in this feat, it gains an additional 3 attacks of opportunity per round, for a total of 8 attacks of opportunity per round. (18 pts)<br> |
| - | '':'' | + | ''Dodge:'' A cataclysm may designate an opponent during its turn and receive a +3 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. (12 pts)<br> |
| + | ''Evasive Dodge:'' A cataclysm may substitute a 10' step for an attack of opportunity. This action still consumes an attack of opportunity for the round. (10 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Flick of the Wrist:'' If a cataclysm has not attacked in this round, it may spend a swift action to make two attack with a light, one-handed, or natural weapon at its full Base Attack Bonus. (13 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Great Fortitude:'' A cataclysm gains a +4 bonus on Fortitude saving throws. (8 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Iron Will:'' A cataclysm gains a +4 bonus on Will saving throws. (8 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Lightning Dodge:'' If a cataclysm is attacked by the target of its dodge feat in melee and still may make an attack of opportunity this round, it may forgo an attack of opportunity this round and make a 5' step. Alternatively, a cataclysm may instead teleport to the other side of its attacker, directly into a position that would have provided flanking for its original space. When it does this, its body becomes like a living spark and it passes through its target, dealing 5d6 points of electricity damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 20 + Con modifier; DC 34 for a standard cataclysm) negates this damage. Using this feat in this fashion is a supernatural ability. A cataclysm may only use this feat once per round, even though a cataclysm has the ability to take multiple attacks of opportunity in a round. (23 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Lightning Reflexes:'' A cataclysm gains a +4 bonus on Reflex saving throws. (8 pts)<br> | ||
| + | ''Power Attack:'' On the cataclysm's action, before making attack rolls for a round, it may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add twice the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed its base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until its next turn. (10 pts) | ||
