Feats

Buying Feats

When You level up in your class, you will earn a resource called Feat Points. You can use those to increase Ability Score by 1, for the cost of 2 Feat Points, or to buy feats listed below. Some feats consist of several parts that can be unlocked separately. Both feats & their elements may require completion of specific prerequisites detailed in the feat description.
During character creation, each hero can obtain bonus feat points by completing several objectives listed in the creating new character article. Those elements can be revisited later to obtained missed points.
