Other Feats

The following feats fall into either the Origin or Ancestry category, and are typically gained whenever a class grants you the Feat feature.   You must meet any prerequisite specified in a Feat to take that Feat. If you ever lose a Feat's prerequisite, you can't use that Feat until you regain the prerequisite OR speak with your GM to replace it with a new one.   Anything marked with an asterick (*) is modified from its core rules version. Anything in a blue box is homebrew.  
 

Origin

These feats, unlike those in the General category, do not provide an Ability Score Increase, and can be gained through a handful of specific Origins/Backgrounds.

Ancestry

These few feats, unlike others, have a prerequisite that requires you to be playing a particular Ancestry/Species.  
 

Soul-Sight

(Prerequisite: Human)
As a Bonus Action, you can see the Soul of a creature within your sight for about 20 seconds (or 3 Rounds). When you do, you gain a level of Exhaustion and must make a Soul Saving Throw (DC 5 + half the creature's CR or Level). On a failed save, you gain 1d4 Corruption. Once you use this feat, you can't use it again for 10 minutes.
 

Peak Fortitude

(Prerequisite: Dwarf)
You are a living testament to your great ancestors. You gain the following benefits.
  • Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Climbing Speed. You gain a Climb Speed equal to your Speed.
  • Cold Resistance. You have Resistance to Cold damage.
  • Skill Proficiency. You gain Proficiency with the Athletics or Acrobatics Skill (your choice).
 

Feline Reflexes

(Prerequisite: Felidaen)
Your incredible reflexes improve further. You gain the following benefits.
  • Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Lunar Inscriptions

(Prerequisite: Greenskin, Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature)
Your ancestry has a deep connection to the moons of Agathok, allowing you to channel your spellcasting through your unique physical body. Every magical inscription for you can be formed from your flesh and bones, rather than your mind.   Choose a class: your Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature's Ability Modifier for the chosen class becomes Strength. Any class feature from the chosen class that uses the same Ability Modifier used for its Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature now uses Strength, instead of what it's supposed to be (GM discretion might be needed in some aspects).   For every spell you have prepared for the chosen class, a scar or similar inscription must be made on your body, as that is where you draw your magic from. These scars glisten softly under moonlight.
 

Independent Steed

(Prerequisite: Centaur)
Your body is tempered to compete and surpass other equine creatures. You gain the following benefits.
  • Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Mounting Resistance. Creatures that attempt to mount you without you willing have Disadvantage on rolls to do so.
  • You Are Your Own Mount. You treat yourself as your mount, for the purposes of certain effects and features. This benefit only applies provided there is no creature mounting you.
 

Flight Form

(Prerequisite: Dhampir)
You have learned to dig deep into the power within your vampire blood. You gain the following benefits.
  • Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Shapechanger. As a Bonus Action, you can transform yourself into a Bat, Crow, or Raven, as per the rules for the Polymorph spell, except you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, it doesn't require Concentration, and you can speak as normal. You stay in this form for a number of hours equal to three times your Proficiency Bonus. You revert back to your true form early if you have no Temporary Hit Points left, or if you end it early as a Bonus Action. When you revert back, if you are falling, your rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round until the end of your next turn. If you land before the end of your next turn, you take no damage from the fall. You can use this benefit a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
 

Slime Lord

You gain the following benefits.
  • Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Tremorsense. You have Tremorsense with a range of 10 feet.
  • Digest. At the beginning of your turn, if a creature is Grappled by your Engulf trait, that creature takes 1d6 Acid damage.
  • Consume. A creature that dies while Grappled by your Engulf trait can be consumed thereafter by you as an Action, provided it has been dead for no longer than 2 rounds. Doing so provides half a days worth of rations to you, and regains you a number of Hit Points equal to three times your Proficiency Bonus.
