This content is intended for the Hyrule campaign setting and the variant rules it uses. The feats on this page are intended to replace the feats available in the Player's Handbook.

A feat represents a talent or competence that gives a character extraordinary capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.

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. For example, a feat might require you you to have a Strength of 13 or higher. If your Strength is reduced below 13 somehow—perhaps by a withering curse—you can't benefit from that feat until your Strength is restored. You can take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says otherwise.

There are two main ways to gain a feat, though your DM may allow additional options.

Gaining a feat at 1st level

At character creation only, you can choose to decrease four of your ability scores by 1 each to gain a feat of your choice. This sacrifice represents a deficiency in other areas of your life spent dedicated to training and experience to master the feat you choose. The scores you choose to decrease are subject to two restrictions:

1. You must choose four different ability scores to decrease, and cannot decrease the same ability score multiple times.
2. If you are of a race that grants a bonus of 2 or higher to an ability score, you must choose any or all ability scores that your race increases by more than 1. For example, due to his or her race, a zora has +2 Wisdom, so if using this option a zora must choose to decrease Wisdom in addition to three other ability scores.

Gaining a feat at later levels

At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. You can forgo taking that feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
