#1 With a Bullet Point: 5 Haste/Slow Feats by Owen K.C. Stephens is a role playing game supplement published by Rogue Genius Games (originally Super Genius Games) for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available as a four-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $1 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a bundle. One page is the Open Game License and credits.
The first page has some standard text for the #1 With a Bullet Point range explaining the philosophy and what the supplements contain.
The High Concept explains that this contains feats intended for use with haste, slow and blessing of fervor.
Distorted Speed allows the effect of speed-changing spells to be altered, readying or storing as a free action, charging as a standard action and Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat, or altering the effects of a slow spell cast by the user take a new penalty, adding time to spellcasting, standard action to reload a weapon and cannot ready or delay.
Marathon of One allows speed-altering spells to be single target and take up a spell slot one level lower.
Master of Speed allows initiative results to be shared amongst willing allies.
Overlord of Speed means that when a creature fails a saving throw against a spell, spell-like ability or supernatural ability of the caster’s, they can be forced to make a Will save or be slowed, and an ally can be granted blessing of fervor or haste for the same duration. Which sounds like it could easily get overpowered.
Unrestrained Speed can be used to cast a spell when targets are further apart than normally allowed.
#1 With a Bullet Point: 5 Haste/Slow Feats in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and at this length doesn’t need them. Navigation is fine. The text maintains the old three-column landscape format used by Super Genius Games and appeared to be free of errors. There are a couple of pieces of black and white stock art. Presentation is okay.
This is a decent collection of new feats for haste/slow spells, though the Overlord of Speed seems a little too powerful, given that it adds a slow effect to any spell, spell-like ability or supernatural ability and then, on top of that, grants the equivalent of a haste spell. It might not be easy to use, and does depend on saving throws, but it has the potential to seriously hinder an opponent. #1 With a Bullet Point: 5 Haste/Slow Feats can be found by clicking here.
