Feat summary

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. The only additional feats are gained:
 * by Humans who get one additional feat upon creation,
 * by Fighters who get a bonus feat at 1st and 2nd level and every 2 subsequent levels of fighter, but must choose from a more limited list of combat-oriented feats,
 * by Wizards who get to choose a bonus metamagic feat at wizard levels 1, 5 and 10.

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.
