(Story)
The object of your quest drives you ever forward.
Prerequisites
You must have some highly personal stake in attaining the object of your quest as determined collectively by you and the GM-such as needing an ancestral weapon to exact your revenge against a known
Betrayer, seeking to destroy the artifact that caused your family's downfall generations ago, or attempting to behead a monster that ravaged your homeland during your youth.
Benefit
When you gain this feat, devise a quest
Object with your GM based on the quest objects presented in this section. You gain a +2 bonus on any
Knowledge checks to gain information on the
Object of your quest. If you have 10 or more ranks in the
Knowledge skill in question, the bonus increases to +4. In addition, once per day when you threaten a critical hit against a foe who specifically aims to stop you from completing your quest, you gain a +10 bonus on your confirmation roll against that opponent. You must announce the use of this ability after threatening the critical hit and before rolling your confirmation roll. This bonus does not stack with bonuses on confirmation rolls from other feats, such as
Critical Focus.
Goal
Attain the object of your quest, as determined by you and the GM upon taking this feat. This likely means decidedly obtaining the item for yourself, though in some cases (such as when the quest object is more abstract or intangible) this might mean slaying a certain foe, achieving a certain honor, or completing some other set of predetermined objectives.
Completion Benefit
You gain renown throughout a region, perhaps even an entire continent. You are sung of in bardic tales and can be the subject of spells such as legend lore, regardless of your actual level. Commoners in nearby lands know of your deeds, and your reputation precedes you in numerous lands. In addition, you gain a specific benefit keyed to the object of your quest. See the quest objects in this section for examples of completion benefits when devising your own quest objects for use with this feat.
Special
This feat may be taken more than once. Each time it is taken, select a new quest object to strive for. As with all story feats, a character cannot take this feat again until she has completed the goal of the feat's first iteration.
