Cinematic Feats
Cinematic Feats or Feats for short, represent those little things that heros on the TV and in the Movies somehow able to get away with. These Feats are not real powers, but seem to bend reality a little bit.
IMPORTANT! READ! Some of the Feats require that you can only use these Feats with weapons or fighting styles that you are considered an Expert or Master in. To be considered an Expert in a weapon or fighting style you must have at least 3 CSLs(3 point type or larger) and one Target or Range level, that you are able to use with that weapon or fighting style. A Master has the requirements increased to 6 CSLs and 3 Target or Range levels.
