Feats


A feat represents an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.

At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take a feat of your choice instead. In addition, the revised racial rules allow you to forgo a +2 modifier to an ability score to begin with a feat at level one. You can take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says otherwise.

You must meet any prerequisite specified in a feat to take that feat. If you ever lose a feat’s prerequisite, you can’t use that feat until you regain the prerequisite. For example, the Savage Combatant feat requires you to have a Strength of 13 or higher. If your Strength is reduced below 13 somehow — perhaps by a withering curse — you can’t benefit from the Savage Combatant feat until your Strength is restored.

Whenever you choose a feat, you can choose two options: you gain 3 selections which you must pick from one Feat Category, or you can pick 1 selection and also increase an ability score of your choice by 1. A feature lists its selection cost, though it should be noted that that options may gain additional potency if selected more than once. These options will have a different total cost listed, and will show an additional effect or improvement to be added to the base option. If an option has the Repeatable tag, that means the same option can be selected multiple times.

Whenever you gain a level, you may reassign one of your selections from one of your feats. Once you take a feat from one Feat Category, you cannot take another set of feat options from that same category.

This is a video on how these feats work for those confused or wanting clarification by whose work I based this version of the feat system off of.

Feats are listed below.
