Feat Mechanics

C.2 Feat Mechanics

C.2.1 Prerequisites

Some feats have prerequisites. Unless you meet all of the prerequisites, you cannot take the feat. Prerequisites can include a minimum attribute value, another feat or feats, a minimum level of training in a skill, or some other property of a character. A character can gain a feat at the same level at which they gain the prerequisite.

A character who no longer meets all prerequisites for a feat loses all abilities from that feat.

C.2.2 Skill Feats

Skill feats are weaker and more narrow in their focus than other feats. Whenever a character would choose a single feat, they may instead choose two skill feats.

C.2.3 Feat Tags

All feats are organized into different groups by tags.

General: General feats can have a wide variety of effects. They often grant new abilities or improve your defenses.

Combat: Combat feats improve your combat capabilities. They can increase the damage you deal, grant you new combat abilities, or improve your defenses.

Casting: Casting feats improve your spellcasting abilities. Casting feats are useless to characters who cannot cast spells.

Skill: Skill feats improve your skills. They can make you more likely to succeed with skill checks and grant you new abilities based on your skills.

Ancestry Feats: Some characters have traces of monstrous blood running in their veins. Most of those will never understand the full potential of their unusual heritage. Ancestry feats allow characters to explore those posibilities by gaining abilities related to their ancestry. You can only have one Ancestry feat.

Magical Feats: All abilities granted by feats with the Magical type are magical ✨ in nature. Many feats are not entirely magical, but have specific effects that are magical.
