UndeFEATable 2 - Clerics is a short 5 page pdf product presenting numerous new feats for the newly released Pathfinder RPG by Paizo Publishing. This is the second product in LPJ Design's UndeFEATable series, the first detailing new feats for the sorcerer and wizard classes. UndeFEATable 2 focuses on clerics, and provides new feats within the framework of the cleric class in the Pathfinder RPG, expanding on several class options there and providing several new ones.

The product comes as a single pdf file. The style, layout and formatting is similar to the previous and first release in the series, and presents a neat and tidy look to a short pdf. The product contains no art, but is otherwise professionally presented. About the only thing that would make a useful addition to the product would be a table giving a short description of the feats, perhaps even linked to each feat's description for easy navigating. Writing and editing if fairly good, and there are no obvious ambiguities in the descriptions and workings of each feat. Of the 5 pages of the product, 4 are devoted to content with the last page containing the OGL and Pathfinder RPG declarations. Overall, a neat presentation.

Like most versions and adaptations of the 3e OGL RPG, feats play an important and often extensive role in the creation of the character, the direction the character takes and the character's overall development and prowess. Feats are a neat and elegant way to add options to characters, expand on existing options or generally just to shape a particular character for a specific purpose or with a certain concept in mind. UndeFEATable 2 presents 22 new feats to do just that for the cleric class, offering expansion and new tricks for the class. The general variety and scope is good, offering a good selection and versatility of feats.

In general the feats focus on specific areas, so that you have, for example, feats that enhance the clerics channel ability, feats that allow the cleric to improve or change his domain powers, and feats that are based on the cleric's aura class feature. I have to admit that most of these feats are fairly familiar, being incarnations of feats for the 3.5e OGL but with a different name and description although the outcome is broadly similar. Other feats, like Mystic Priest and Scholar Priest, are probably more suited to be alternative class features than feats, but that's a matter of semantics. There are a few novel feats like Domain Mastery, which allows you to prepare lower level domain slots into higher level domain slots. Overall, there's a mix-match of new feats and ones rewritten for Pathfinder RPG, but by and large these are the 'obvious' feats that one could think of when taking a look at the Pathfinder cleric class. None particularly expand the class in new directions, but rather build on the existing class features or make minor changes.

Overall, this is a good pdf for those looking to quickly find ways of enhancing or improving the cleric class and its abilities, though perhaps not for those looking to move the cleric class in different directions. The feats work well, are clearly written, and mostly balanced, although there are some reservations to be had about some of the feats (like Mystic Priest, for example, that grants a bonus spell at every level for very little drawback). Good product overall, and a useful addition to the Pathfinder Game, but nothing too different than what has come before.
