Feats

Feats are a type of non-class-based advancement that offer ways to accomplish remarkable things and become more effective with your capabilities. With them, you perform great feats!

How Feats Work

All people gets feats at the same levels, at character levels 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, 17, and 19. In addition, you can choose to take a feat at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. Finally, a few races and magic items grant feats. Feats are designed to be generally useful to every character, and they do not depend on your class to be effective. That said, some feats are more useful than others to those who have taken a particular class, either because the feat offers something similar to a class ability (and so is redundant) or because the feat offers something that does not synergize well with one's class abilities. If you find you have taken a feat that you later regret, discuss the option of retraining with your game master.

In general, it is easy to take a feat. When you look at the rules for feats, you will find that they consist of common elements: A name, a type, a class, a summary, benefits, and sometimes, prerequisites and special notes.

Feat Types

The three major types of feats are Combat Feats, Magic Feats, and Gallimaufry feats; this last type is a catch-all category for all kinds of non-combat, non-magic enhancements. In addition, Skill Feats are a subset of Gallimaufry Feats. Metamagic Feats are a subset of Magic Feats. Teamwork Feats can also be Combat, Magic, or Gallimaufry Feats.

Feat Classes

There are also three major classes of feats:
