Ability Mimic

Back to Feats
==Ability Mimic==
===Prerequisites - See Description===
Allows you to gain a special class ability, such as Lay on Hands or Rage, as long as you meet the prerequisites to do so.
You must have at least the same level in a single class as the class ability chosen to mimic.
Prestige class abilities require an equal prestige class level (for example, an assassin's improved crit ability requires equal levels in a prestige class such as heirophant or weapon master, you can't learn it if you are only leveling up a basic class).
You must also have an ability score of 10 + 2/level of the class's primary stat, with the level required being equal to that above, the level at which the ability would normally be learned in that class (for example, mimicking a Guardian's Aura of Steel ability requires at least level 12, and 34 in Constitution, the class's primary stat).
Abilities magical in nature such as turn undead or lay on hands also require you to be able to cast spells of a level equal to the maximum level that class would normally be able to cast, which are both 1st level in these cases.
Some abilities naturally "power up" into more powerful versions of themselves, such as the Bard's Inspire Courage ability.
Some specific abilities may have additional requirements or even be un-mimickable, at the DM's discretion.
===You may only take this feat once per 5 total character levels, but can take it any number of times up to that max at any time.===
For example, if you are playing a legendary dragon fighter and decide to start taking this feat at level 34, you can take it up to 6 times total, so you can take it with both feats that are gained at level 34, gaining powerful 20th level abilities such as the barbarian's Frenzy that would at level 5 (when you would at earliest be ably to take this feat) be only the regular Rage, which would be entirely unhelpful at level 34.
