A feat is a special feature that either gives your character a new capability or improves one he or she already has. For example, Yoriko Obato, a Fast hero, chooses to start with the Improved Initiative and Combat Martial Arts feats at 1st level. Improved Initiative adds a +4 circumstance bonus to her initiative checks, and Combat Martial Arts allows her to deal more damage when she gets into a fight and uses her martial arts training. She gains a new feat at 3rd level and chooses Dodge. This feat allows Yoriko to more easily avoid the attacks of an opponent she selects, improving her Defense against that opponent.
Unlike a skill, a feat has no ranks. A character either has the feat or doesn’t have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acquiring Feats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike skills, feats are not bought with points. You simply choose them for your character. All available feats are listed and described in the table below. Each character gets two feats when the character is created (at 1st level). At 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th level, he or she gains another feat (see Experience and Level Dependent Benefits). For multiclass characters, feats are gained according to character level, not by individual class levels.
Additionally, some starting occupations offer bonus feats, and many classes get extra class-related feats to chose from special lists (see the class descriptions in Characters<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some feats have prerequisites. A character must have the indicated ability score, feat, ranks in a skill, and\/or base attack bonus in order to select or use that feat. A character can gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains all the prerequisites. For example, a 2nd-level Strong hero who already has the Brawl feat accumulates enough experience points to attain 3rd level as a Strong hero. His base attack bonus goes up from +2 to +3. He now qualifies for the Improved Brawl feat, because the prerequisites are the Brawl feat (which he had already) and a base attack bonus of +3 (which he just obtained).
A prerequisite that contains a numerical value is a minimum; any value higher than the one given also meets the prerequisite. For instance, the prerequisites for the Frightful Presence feat are Charisma 15 and Intimidate 9 ranks. Any character with a Charisma score of 15 or higher and at least 9 ranks in Intimidate meets the prerequisites.
You can’t use a feat if you’ve lost a prerequisite. For example, if your Strength temporarily drops below 13 because you are fatigued, you can’t use the Power Attack feat until your Strength score returns to 13 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feat Descriptions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is the format for feat descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite:<\/strong> A minimum ability score, another feat or feats, a minimum base attack bonus, and\/or the minimum ranks in a skill that a character must have to acquire this feat. This entry is absent if a feat has no prerequisite.
Benefit:<\/strong> What the feat enables your character to do.
Normal:<\/strong> What a character who does not have this feat is limited to or restricted from doing. If there is no particular drawback to not possessing the feat, this entry is absent.
