'''Feats''' are powerful passive or active features a character can select at certain levels during the level up process.

}}
'''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.


== Feat Selection Levels ==
See  [[D&D 5e feat changes]] for an overview of difference between feats in ''5e D&D'' and ''Baldur's Gate 3''.
At levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, characters must choose to take either a Feat or two points of [[Ability Score]] Improvement. Some Feats also include a single point of Ability Score Improvement.


[[Fighter]]s uniquely receive more Feats/Ability Score Improvements than other classes, at levels 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, and 20.
