Forgotten Feats by

<div class='cover-header'>Forgotten Feats</div>

> ### Revising Feats 
> *Feats are a great way to make a character feel special, as well for its combat style as for its general flavor and personality.
> However, players seem to always choose the same few feats, while the others remain forgotten in most campaigns. Indeed, some feats are clearly stronger than others, and this revised version is mostly meant to give more appeal to those "lesser feats".*
