User:UltraMonk/Feats

Overview
Feats are special abilities that give your character a new capability, or improves one he or she already has.

Each Character gets one feat upon creation. At 3rd level, and every 3 levels after that (6th, 9th...) he or she gains another feat. Certain characters can gain additional feats:
 * Humans one additional generic feat slot at 1st level.
 * Fighters get a bonus feat at 1st and 2nd level and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter, but must choose from a more limited list of combat-oriented feats.
 * Wizards get to choose a bonus metamagic feat at wizard levels 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20.
 * Monks get an extra feat at monk level 1, 2, and 6, taken from a list of martial arts feats.

Free Active Feats are provided to any character that meets the requirements, and represent things most people can try (but not necessarily with much success).

Note also that some classes automatically gain free class feats based on their class level: check each class' page for more details on those. Sometimes they allow the player to make a choice of which to take, as with rogue special abilities, ranger favored enemy, and monk philosophical path. Those feats will not be listed on this page, and are described with the appropriate class, even though they are treated as feats for some gameplay purposes (such as swapping them by spending dragonshards).
