General Training Talents

Training Talent Prerequisites Benefits Source
Combat Feat Either the scrapper or soldier adventuring goal You gain a bonus combat feat and count your total heir apparent levels as fighter levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. BoMT
Companion Heir apparent 5

You form a close bond with an animal companion. You can choose from the following list: badger, bird, camel, cat (small), dire rat, dog, horse, pony, snake (viper or constrictor), or wolf. If the campaign takes place wholly or partly in an aquatic environment, you may choose a shark instead. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies you on your adventures as appropriate for its kind.

This ability functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the Nature Bond class feature), except that your effective druid level is equal to your heir apparent level –3. You can choose this talent twice. The second time, your effective druid level is equal to your total levels as an heir apparent and you may choose any animal companion.

BoMT

Uncanny Dodge Heir apparent 3

You gain the ability to react to danger before your senses would normally allow you to do so. You cannot be caught flat-footed, nor do you lose your Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. You still lose your Dexterity bonus to armor class if immobilized. You can still lose your Dexterity bonus to armor class if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against you.

If you already have uncanny dodge from a different class, you automatically gain improved uncanny dodge instead.

BoMT
Uncanny Dodge, Improved Heir apparent 7, uncanny dodge

You can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack you by flanking you, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than your heir apparent level.
