At class levels 4, 8, and 12{{verify}}, players can choose to take a feat instead of increasing their [[Ability Scores]]. Feats are character features that grant unique abilities or bonuses which improve a character's abilities in specified areas.
'''Feats''' are features that grant a character unique improvements. All classes select one feat at class levels 4, 8, and 12. [[Fighter|Fighters]] select an additional feat at level 6; [[Rogue|Rogues]] select an additional feat at level 10.


{{Class|Fighter}}s and {{Class|Rogue}}s also gain access to bonus feats, with the fighter gaining a bonus feat at level '''6''' and the rogue at level '''10'''.
See  [[D&D 5e feat changes]] for an overview of difference between feats in ''5e D&D'' and ''Baldur's Gate 3''.
