Here are a few Advantages I created for use within a Fantasy Setting. I do want to convert some of the Warriors & Warlocks material here as well, given time.
Armor Finesse (Ranked)
When using this Advantage, a player can remove the optional penalty for wearing heavy armor. The normal penalty is -1 for every rank of protection that armor provides , minus 1. The use of this feat reduces that penalty further by 1 for each rank in armor Finesse. The penalty applies mostly to athletics and acrobatic checks, and to anything else the GM decides.
Athletic Feint
This advantage works just like the Acrobatic Feint, instead of relying on your skill to move and roll away from an attack. The Athletic Feint, allows you to push and shove your opponents, in an effort to keep from getting hit.
Heroic Valour
Sometimes courage is your best defense, a hero can spend extra effort to bolster his defense. Gaining a +2 bonus to his toughness, should he be left without any other form of armor for protection. This advantage will not work if the hero is wearing armor, and is considered concentration in duration. The hero cannot use extra effort with this.
Horse Master
This is something I encorporated into my LOTR builds. The house rule for this is that a person suffers a -2 penalty to melee attacks. while on horseback, and a -5 penalty to use ranged attacks on horseback. Taking this advantage, reduces the penalty , to 0/-2 (ranged).
Mind over Body
This advantage allows the player to use his Willpower defense for certain fortitude effects, such as diseases or poisons. Being able to control certain aspects of your metabolism through sheer will. The GM can let this cover other things at his discretion, such as holding a persons breath, etc..
Shield Bash
This allows a hero to use his shield as a bludgeon weapon. Treat this like a Alternate effect. It turns a small shield into a +1 strength based damage effect. While a Medium shield is treated as a +2 strength based damage effect. A large shield is just too bulky to be used as a weapon.
Sneak Attack (ranked)
This advantage allows a hero to use his stealth to his advantage in combat. Though there are several requirements for one to be able to Sneak Attack. First and foremost, the Attacker must have a higher initiative then the one he is attacking. Second, he must make a successful stealth check against the targets perception. One 1 degree of success, the target is defense impaired, and gains the benefit of an Improved Critical equal to the ranks in his sneak attack. On 2 degree's of success, the target is vulnerable and the attack and gains the Improved Critical benefits. On 3 degree's of success the target is considered Defenseless, and gains the benefits of the Improved Critical. Without this advantage, an attacker can only hope for treating his target defense impaired or vulnerable.
Split Attack (Specific Attack)
The hero can split his attack just like the power modifier, and works the exact same way. You must however specify a specific attack for this to work when taking the Advantage.
