This chapter offers a collection of feats, which are special features not tied to a character class. A feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.
The sections below explain the parts of a feat and list a variety of feat options separated into categories.
Your background gives you a feat, and at certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feat or the choice of another feat for which you qualify.
By whatever means you acquire a feat, you can take it only once unless its description says otherwise.
