FEATS

Battle Meditation
Others find their zen in peace and quiet. You find yours in the din and chaos of battle. You no longer take a penalty to Wisdom while using Frenzy.

Bounding Beast
When you're mad enough to take on all comers, weapons just slow you down. While you are using Frenzy and not carrying anything in your hands, you gain the Quadruped trait.

Fiery Fist
Your fury ignites your ki and informs your victims the hard way of the heat of your passions. You may spend a Hero Point to give your unarmed strikes the Incendiary property for one round.

Short Fuse
You're just a shade bit above your seething temper. You can Frenzy as a Half Action.

Alright, so, finally got around to the rewrite. Unfortunately, that mostly entailed removing things, but next order of business is to trawl through the forums to see if there's anything I can use to help fold in some of Kamigawa's spirit-slayers here.

What was wrong with Greater Frenzy and Short Fuse? They seemed reasonably balanced. Frenzy on its own isn't really a very good feat in my opinion.

Well, to be blunt, Greater Frenzy is more for the Barbarian than the Sohei...

Put Short Fuse back here, stuck Greater Frenzy over in the Specialist Levels thread for the Bloodscaled Fury.

Extremely Confused
Considering this is an unarmed-centric class, shouldn't there be a feat that allows Hatred to provide a bonus to your unarmed attacks as well?

Hatred
Groups: Criminals, Rival Group (specific),
Pirates, Race (specific), Magic Users,
Heretics, etc.

A group, organization, or race has wronged
you in the past, fueling this animosity. You
gain +1k0 to Weaponrymelee attack rolls made to attack
members of a certain group or race. You must
be aware the enemy is of that group or race to
gain the bonus.

Much more sensible.

For my next character, I'm considering using a Sohei instead of the Barbarian or Monk. My only issue with the class is Hatred (Daemons). Could you change it to Hatred (Any)?

No. The only necessary change to Hatred is the one previously described.

That's wrong, actually, because my character would be hating things besides daemons. Am I really going to have to multiclass just so I can get the Hatred I need? I will if I have to. Or I could just take a different class entirely.
