8. Any balanced original feats or spells.
Well...I don't know about the balance or the originality. But here are 2 feats that I've posted somewhere else on this site.
Life saver [General]
Prerequisites: Improved Initiative, Dexterity 16+
Benefit: When withing 10 feet of an of a ally, you may choose to leap out to him and essentially take the full damage from any physical or magical attack that would otherwise affect the ally. The attack automatically hits you without saves and you take full damage,exceptions are only damage reduction abilities.

I was thinking that this feat would fit well with withing the "good kingdoms" of Farland. I was especially thinking of "bodyguards" of the most notable people - kings, nobility and so forth.
The second one I'm still working on, but maybe with some feedback it could be made to work out fine.
Gian Ride [ General ]
Prerequisites: Climb 12 ranks, Strength 14+.
Benefit: You can climb up an enemy that is at least one size larger than you, thus denying him his Dexterity AC and provoding a 30% chance that any ranged attack targeted to you will hit your enemy instead. While attempting the climb, you provoke an AoO. If it succeeds, you fail your climb. Each round thereafter, you must make a Balance check of 25 to stay on your enemy or fall down. Additionally, the enemy may attempt to throw you off his back at the cost of one standart action. Note that if the enemy changes his posture drastically (ex. he falls down) you automatically fall down,too.

I have to admit, I came up with this one whilst watching LOTR III, where Leloas climbs down the elephant and kills him singlehandedly. But it seems to be interesting.
Feedback?(You CAN throw tomatoes at me, for it's my first time at creating feats)
