Thread starter Fabius Maximus Start date May 16, Fabius Maximus Active member Banned. Validated User. Not just the total number, but the small number you can get for any given character, and the fact they can't be changed out makes it very difficult to create a lot of character concepts.

I think characters get enough feats. My group plays 3. I suspect a -large- part of that sentiment comes from people always wanting more of a good thing.

Feats are a good thing so you -never- really feel like you have enough unless you're a fighter and -then-, only then, do you get the classic refrain of "Feats aren't worth as much as real class features.

If you want extra feats, there are ways to get them even without getting DCFS cheesy. If you're finding yourself in the position of not having enough feats, even after these options fighter dip for example , then you're probably trying to do too much at once.

In pathfinder you get 10, generally, and that -would- be plenty since PF went out of the way to make minimal multiclassing more attractive but they also made and keep making the mistake of burying anything interesting under an onerous pile of generally lackluster prerequisite feats. Like 3. For 3. For PF, I'd say it's okay now but it's going to get worse if they keep up with the pattern.

I am not seaweed. That's a B. Praise I've received Spoiler. Originally Posted by ThiagoMartell. Originally Posted by LTwerewolf. You can, but it's such massive overkill.

Proud avatar of Neutral Evil You guys are playing make believe wrong. My first adventure started as a continuation of another's person's adventure. The party stepped into a room that was trapped with some gates which teleported them into another plane. If you eliminate onerous feat taxes, it's about right, especially for casters. If you eliminate onerous feat taxes as well as make things like power attack part of the base functionality of the game rather than locking them behind feats, then even characters that are both martials and casters might actually have enough feats going by the standard number.

If you don't eliminate onerous feat taxes and the like, then doubling feats for martials and giving some number of extra feats just for martial crap for hybrids would be about right. Fighters might need one or two more that aren't as tightly limited as fighter bonus feats.

As for when, I find that most characters feel about a feat behind where they should be until about 9th level. Last edited by Coidzor; at PM. Originally Posted by Keld Denar.

What are feats in Pathfinder? Feats represent special tricks or abilities a character has acquired through training, luck, or as a quirk of his birth. How many traits do you get in Pathfinder? In most cases, a new PC should gain two traits, effectively gaining what amounts to a bonus feat at character creation.

Some GMs may wish to adjust this number somewhat, depending upon their style of play; you may only be able to pick one trait, or your GM might allow three or more.

Are there feats in 5e? There is also an optional rule that allows human characters to take a feat is they are allowed to use the Variant Human Traits p. Can you change feats 5e? If you're playing in Adventurers League, then you can change anything about your character during tier 1. In 4e, you got a feat every second level or so. In 5e, feats are optional and can only be picked instead of ASI if you're not var.

What is a variant human? Variant human is an optional way of building humans to be a bit more customized to an individual's desires.

I'm not finding one. LoL, is this a bad question? Morrus Well, that was fun Staff member. You'll need to be more specific. Man in the Funny Hat Hero.

If you're the DM? As many as you want there to be. If you're not the DM? As many as the DM will allow. A list of every feat, ever? From which sources? For which edition? WotC used to have a master feat list for all of 3rd edition. I have no idea if it is still up on their site or archives, however. There is a site or two which list all the third edition feats You mean to tell me that a certain feat from one edition wouldn't necessarily have been carried over into subsequent editions?

Plus have you considered 3PP created feats - if you're talking a master list, its probably longer than you think of course most 3PP feats aren't made for every edition. Tuzenbach said:.
