Feats

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

Every character gets one feat at first level, and then at 3rd level and every 3 heroic levels after that (6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th) for a total of 7.

Every character also gets a feat at level 21,24, and 27 (epic levels 1 and 7), for which Epic Feats can be selected in addition to standard feats.

Every character also gets a Destiny Feat at level 26 and 28, for which Epic Destiny feats can be selected depending on which destinys you have capped.

Certain races and classes gain additional feats:
 * Half-Elves get an additional race-specific Dilettante feat at 1st level. These feats are similar to taking one multi-class level.
 * Humans get 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, taken from a list of combat-oriented feats.
 * Monks get an extra feat at Monk level 1, 2, and 6, taken from a list of martial arts feats.
 * Rogues get to select an extra feat at Rogue level 10, 13, 16, and 19 from the list of Rogue Special Ability.
 * Wizards get to choose a bonus feat at levels 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20, taken from a list of spellcasting-oriented feats.
 * Artificers get to choose a bonus feat at levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20, taken from a list of Artificer bonus 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).

For alphabetical listing of all feats, see Category:Feats.

Ability bonuses gained from enhancements or equipped items do not count towards feat prerequisites.
