[New feat: Conjured Elemental]
This is a replacement feat for the old Mage feat "Improved Familiar". There are 3 main elemental types: arcane, frost, and fire. Mages who have not yet chosen a Mage school will default to the arcane elemental while the two Mage schools are able to summon their respective subclass elemental. After reaching level 15, there is a moderate buff to the overall resistances, skills, damage, and hitpoints of the elemental.

[New feat: Kick]
This is a replacement feat for the Scoundrel subclass feat "Enchanting Melody". It is a command activated single target attack, dealing a small to moderate amount of damage with a 5 second freeze versus players and 10 second freeze versus basecreatures. Damage increases slightly with the Rogue's level.

[Feat modified - Dragon Roar]
Versus basecreatures:
Flee timer increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds

Versus players:
Weapon block equip timer increased from 5 seconds to 10 seconds
Freeze timer remains the same at 5 seconds
