* [[Actor]] grants double proficiency bonus on [[Deception]] and [[Performance]] checks rather than {{Advantage}}, and it applies to all skill checks, not only when attempting to pass yourself off another person. The ability to mimic another person's voice is not included.

* [[Charger]]'s movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
* [[Charger]]'s movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
* [[Crossbow Expert]] does not include the loading quality aspect, as loading is not a game mechanic in BG3. It also does not include the ability to fire a hand crossbow as a bonus action after making a one-handed attack action. Instead, it doubles the duration of the {{Cond|Gaping Wounds}} effect applied by {{SAI|Piercing Shot}}. In addition, the removal of {{Disadvantage}} when attacking at close range only applies to crossbow attacks, instead of all ranged attacks.

* [[Dual Wielder]] does not include the drawing and stowing weapon features, as BG3's action economy already largely ignores the penalty for switching between your equipped weapon sets.

* [[Dungeon Delver]] does not include the removal of the penalty on passive [[Perception]] checks due to traveling quickly, as travel speed is not included as a game mechanic in BG3. It also does not provide advantage saving throws against traps, only resistance to the damage from traps.

* [[Durable]] heals all hit points on a short rest, rather than simply implementing a minimum heal based on your {{Ability|Constitution}} modifier.
* [[Durable]] heals all hit points on a short rest, rather than simply implementing a minimum heal based on your {{Ability|Constitution}} modifier. This is due to the lack of a Hit Dice mechanic in BG3.
* [[Elemental Adept]] ignores the requirement to be a spellcaster. Non-spellcasters with this feat gain its benefits when casting a spell from a scroll or other item.

* [[Great Weapon Master]]'s ability to take an attack penalty in exchange for a damage bonus only applies to Heavy melee weapons. In 5e, this applies to all two-handed melee weapons (though this distinction only matters for [[Greatclub|Greatclubs]]) and all Versatile melee weapons wielded in both hands.

* [[Lucky (feat)|Lucky]]'s luck points give {{Advantage}} before an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, which has implications on mechanics such as the [[Rogue]]'s [[Sneak Attack]]. In 5e, Lucky does not use Advantage before the roll; it allows you to choose to spend a luck point after the roll, but before the outcome is determined, to roll an additional {{D20}} and choose which roll to use.

For instance, a character with both this and [[War Caster]] can cast [[Shocking Grasp]] as a reaction to someone else casting a spell nearby.


* [[Performer]] is a new feat which increases your {{Ability|Charisma}} by 1 and grants proficiency with all [[Instrument|Musical Instruments]].

* [[Sharpshooter]] ignores penalties due to [[High Ground Rules]] (a mechanic unique to BG3), rather than ignoring penalties due to attacking at long range (despite this mechanic also being present in BG3). The ability to ignore half and three-quarters cover is also not included, as BG3 does not include a cover system.

* [[Shield Master]] does not give the option to bonus action shove, as all characters already have this option. Additionally, the +2 bonus to {{Ability|Dexterity}} [[Saving Throw|Saving Throws]] applies to all such checks (e.g. to mitigate the area of effect damage from [[Fireball]]), rather than applying only to spells and harmful effects which target you specifically. The option to use your {{Action|reaction}} to reduce damage taken against such effects, as well as the amounts reduced for successful and failed Saving Throws, remains unchanged.

* [[Skilled]] does not allow you to select [[Proficiency]] with tools, as this mechanic is not present in BG3.

* [[Spell Sniper]] ignores the requirement to be a spellcaster; since you do not select a spell class spell list, non-casting classes use their highest mental ability ({{Ability|Intelligence}}, {{Ability|Wisdom}}, or {{Ability|Charisma}}) for the selected [[Cantrip]]. It does not include the enhancement to spell range, nor the ability to ignore cover (as BG3 does not include a cover system). Instead, it decreases the critical hit threshold of all spell attacks by 1.

It does not include the enhancement to spell range, nor the ability to ignore cover (as BG3 does not include a cover system). Instead, it decreases the critical hit threshold of all spell attacks by 1, which can stack with other similar effects.
* [[Tavern Brawler]] does not include proficiency with {{SAI|Improvised Melee Weapon}}s, as all characters already gain their proficiency bonus on attack rolls with such weapons in BG3. Selecting this feat doubles the {{Ability|Strength}} modifier added to unarmed attacks (i.e. your unarmed attacks deal a flat {{DamageInfo|1|Bludgeoning|modifier=2 x Strength}} ), rather than converting your unarmed attacks to

{{DamageInfo|1d4|Bludgeoning|modifier=Strength}} , as in 5e. The ability to grapple your target as a bonus action upon a successful unarmed hit is not included, due to the lack of a grappling mechanic in BG3.
{{DamageInfo|1d4|Bludgeoning|modifier=Strength}} , as in 5e. This is an increase in average damage output for characters with a Strength score of 14 or higher. The ability to grapple your target as a bonus action upon a successful unarmed hit is not included, due to the lack of a grappling mechanic in BG3.
* [[War Caster]] ignores the requirement to be a spellcaster. Taking this feat does not enhance your ability to cast spells without a free hand, as spell components (i.e. verbal, somatic, material) are not included as a game mechanic. Additionally, while the 5e version of this feat allows you to cast any available single-target spell as an {{SAI|Opportunity Attack}}, the BG3 version of this feat explicitly only allows you to cast {{SAI|Shocking Grasp}}, though this is independent of whether you know this cantrip. In contrast to 5e rules, since BG3 allows all characters to use spell [[Scrolls]], regardless of character class, even non-casting classes may benefit from the feat granting {{Advantage}} on [[Saving Throw|Saving Throws]] to maintain {{Concentration}}, when such spells are cast from scrolls.
