At class levels 4, 8, and 12, 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 levels 4, 8 and 12 each, with [[fighter|fighters]] and [[rogue|rogues]] selecting an additional feat at levels 6 and 10, respectively.


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