Feats: Difference between revisions

| description = Feats are passive features that provide unique improvements to your character, allowing for deeper customisation.

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.

* Increase one [[Ability Score]] by 2, or two [[Ability Score]]s by 1.

* You can't increase an Ability Score above 20 using this feature.

* Your {{Ability|Charisma}} increases by 1, to a maximum of 20.

* Note: despite not mentioning this in the tooltip, the character also gains proficiency in these 2 skills if they didn't have those proficiencies yet (tested for game version: 4.1.1.4079877 (Patch 5)).
