Eagle KnightSource Shining Kingdoms pg. 50PFS Note Characters from Andoran have access to this option.
When most people around the Inner Sea think of Andoran, the first thing they picture is an Eagle Knight, resplendent in blue and silver armor. Ever since the People’s Revolt, the order has existed to safeguard the core principles of Andoran: equality, justice, and liberty. These knights are recognized for their loyalty to the ideals of the nation above all else, including personal ambition or service to a commanding officer. Most Eagle Knights serve a specific branch—the home guard of the Golden Legion, the evangelical Steel Falcons, or the clandestine Twilight Talons—but all Eagle Knights dedicate themselves to the stability and integrity of Andoran. Their newest cohort, the Platinum Wing, is experimenting with
firearms.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Diplomacy and
SocietyAccess You’re invited by a current member of the Eagle Knights or the People’s Council.
Eagle Knights are the marshals and envoys of Andoran and are committed to keeping the peace. On the first round of combat, if you roll Diplomacy for initiative, creatures that haven’t acted are off-guard to you. You gain the
Additional Lore skill feat for
Politics Lore. If you were already trained in Politics Lore, you also become trained in a Lore skill of your choice. You can use Politics Lore to
Make an Impression on or make a
Request of government officials (or similar figures) or to
Gather Information about them. If you critically succeed at a check to Gather Information with Politics Lore, you know the information without having to spend any time gathering it.

Diplomacy
You help an ally shake off any impediment that would give an enemy an unfair advantage. You rally a creature within 30 feet in an attempt to reduce its
frightened or
stupefied condition. If a creature has multiple conditions from this list, choose one. When you’re a master in
Diplomacy, add
clumsy and
enfeebled to the list of conditions. When you’re legendary in Diplomacy, add
stunned to the list of conditions; if the stunned condition has a duration instead of a value, you can’t use Commitment to Equality to reduce it.
Attempt a Diplomacy check against the saving throw DC of the effect that caused the condition; if there was no saving throw DC, use the hard DC for the level of the creature, hazard, or item that caused the effect. You can’t treat a condition that came from an artifact or effect above 20th level unless you’re legendary in Diplomacy; even if you can, the
counteract DC increases by 10. You can’t treat a condition that is part of a
curse or
disease or is a natural state of the target. Once you attempt to treat a target’s condition, that target is immune to further attempts for 1 hour, regardless of the result.
Critical Success Reduce the condition’s value by 2.
Success Reduce the condition’s value by 1.
Critical Failure Increase the condition’s value by 1.

* This version of the Determination feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the
original feat.
Your training allows you to shrug off your foes’ spells and conditions when the need is dire. Choose a single nonpermanent condition, spell, or magical effect that is affecting you. If you chose a condition, its effect on you ends. If you chose a spell or other magical effect, attempt to counteract the spell (your counteract rank is equal to half your level, rounded up, and you attempt a Will save as your counteract check).
This doesn’t remove any Hit Point damage you already took from the spell or condition, and it removes the effect from only you, not from other creatures or the environment around you. It can’t remove an ongoing affliction or prevent such an affliction from inflicting conditions on you later. It can’t remove conditions occurring automatically due to your situation or positioning (such as prone or flanked).
