A feat represents a talent or an area of aptitude that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.

Introducing the Minor Feats!

Using these minor feats is simple. Players are awarded a minor feat of their choosing starting at level 1. At higher levels, when characters are awarded their Ability Score Increase, they may forgo a +1 to take one minor feat. Repeating this, they may take 2 minor feats in place of both +1s. Additionally, the DM should allow characters to earn further minor feats through gameplay. Below are two examples, but others can be awarded, again, at the discretion of the DM:

• Rigorous weapons training with the local militia may grant the character the Weapon Master minor feat. However, this would take a minimum of one month of downtime activity to achieve.
• A completed quest to recover rare tree bark, which was required to break the curse laden on a dieing soul, resulted in a blessing from the high priest. The character is awarded the Resilient minor feat.

This system thus allows for a more indepth character customization options in addition to the systems present. It also allows for new minor feats to be added on DM disgression or in cooperation with the players when they have a specific concept for a minor feat in mind.
