Feats

Feats are features that grant a character unique improvements. All classes select one feat at class levels 4, 8, and 12. Fighters select an additional feat at level 6; Rogues select an additional feat at level 10.

Damage resistance options are one of the following:  Elemental Adept: Acid  Elemental Adept: Cold  Elemental Adept: Lightning  Elemental Adept: Fire  Elemental Adept: Thunder

	You can also make an Opportunity Attack when a target comes within range.
	Notes
	The damage modifier of this attack uses Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher, even if the weapon does not have the finesse property. This is still true if another ability is used for the attack roll (such as through Shillelagh or Pact of the Blade). The Polearm Master: Bonus Attack often does not apply additional damage-on-hit effects, such as Hunter's Mark or the additional damage from Great Weapon Master. Polearm Master works with Pikes even though this is not stated in-game. (see )

	If a Spell forces you to make a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your Reaction to shield yourself and diminish the effect's damage. - On a failed save, you only take half damage. - On a successful save, you don't take any damage, even if you normally would.
	Notes
	BUG: As of Hotfix 25, this feat does not reduce the damage taken on a failed save. Unlike the DnD counterpart, this feat doesn't take shield AC into account and instead only offers a flat bonus to Dexterity saving throw.
Skilled	You gain Proficiency in 3 Skills of your choice.
Spell Sniper	Spell Sniper
	You learn a cantrip, and the number you need to roll a Critical Hit while attacking with a Spell is reduced by 1. This effect can stack.
	Notes
	The available cantrips are:  Bone Chill  Eldritch Blast  Fire Bolt  Ray of Frost  Shocking Grasp  Thorn Whip These cantrips use the character's Spellcasting Ability.

	Your  Strength or  Constitution ability score increases by 1, to a maximum of 20. When you make an unarmed attack, use an improvised weapon, or throw something, your strength modifier is added twice to the damage and Attack roll.
	Notes
	Unarmed attacks that use  Dexterity as a modifier still gain the strength modifier as a bonus with this feat and thus don't get the Dexterity modifier applied twice to the attack.
Tough	Tough
	Hit Point maximum increased by 2 for each level.
War Caster	War Caster: Concentration
	You gain Advantage on Saving throws to maintain Concentration on a Spell.
	War Caster: Opportunity Spell
	You can also use a Reaction to cast  Shocking Grasp at a target moving out of melee range.
	Notes
	This feat does not grant the ability to use  Shocking Grasp at will. Unless you know it from another source, you can only use it as an Attack of Opportunity. Casting Shocking Grasp as an Attack of Opportunity uses the character's Spellcasting Ability. For example, if a Cleric casts Shocking Grasp with this feat, they use their  Wisdom modifier
Weapon Master	Weapon Master
	Your  Strength or  Dexterity ability score increases by 1, to a maximum of 20. Gain Proficiency with four Weapon types of your choice.
