Feats are features that grant a character unique improvements. All classes select one feat at levels 4, 8 and 12 each, with fighters and rogues selecting an additional feat at levels 6 and 10, respectively.

See D&D 5e feat changes for an overview of difference between feats in 5e D&D and Baldur's Gate 3.
