Shield Snare [Fighter, General]
You can disarm an opponent with your shield.
Prerequisites: Improved Shield Bash, Shield Proficiency.
Benefit: You can use your shield to disarm an opponent. To do so, you must first ready an action, specifying a melee attack by a particular opponent as the trigger for it.

If you beat your opponent’s attack roll, you snare the weapon and jerk it from the opponent’s grasp. Your disarm attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity, and your opponent cannot attempt to disarm you if you fail. Whenever you attempt to snare an opponent’s weapon, you lose your shield bonus to Armor Class until the beginning of your next turn.

General Rules: Feats - Double Blow
Double Blow [Fighter, General] (adapted from the Player's Guide to Fighters and Barbarians)
You have learned to make a single devastating strike on an opponent using two separate weapons.
Prerequisites: Two-Weapon Fighting.
Benefit: When wielding two weapons, make a single attack roll. This attack roll is applied to both weapons and is made at the normal penalty for two-weapon fighting. Apply the roll separately against each weapon's critical threat range, but take only a single roll to confirm any potential critical. This feat may not be used with double weapons. When rolling damage, roll for each weapon that hits and add them together into a single damage total.
If your base attack bonus allows more than one attack each round, you may attempt multiple Double Blows. Doing so is extraordinarily difficult, so multiply the two-weapon fighting penalty by the number of attacks made.
You do not receive additional attacks with your off-hand weapon when using this feat. Double Blow is considered a single attack for the purpose of effects such as true strike.

General Rules: Feats - Distract
Distract [Fighter] (from the Quintessential Fighter)
You are one of the few warriors who can regularly throw enemies off-balance and reduce the effectiveness of their attacks. Through a combination of feints and diversions, you can keep an enemy on his toes and yet retain your own devastating attacks.

Benefit: As a free action, you may make a Charisma check with a DC equal to 10 + your foe's Hit Dice. If you succeed, your foe can only take a partial action in the next round of combat. This only works on opponents with an Intelligence score of at least 3, as animals and other base creatures simply ignore your feints and fancy moves as they seek to rend you apart.
