Feats

Feats in The Domains of Dread offer passive bonuses to the characters that select them to the character themselves, any class features, or other statistics. Feats are chosen at the time of level up - some classes receive feats at different levels than other classes and may be influenced by choice of archetype. If a feat is categorized as a general feat, then any character who fulfills their requirements may take them - otherwise, they are restricted within the class feats provided.
