Feats

Fifth Edition Fantasy has 52 feats (10 new in 1.2.0). Most are passive bonuses that are always on once you take them. A few add an active key.

Getting feats

Feat picks come with character level. Your character level is 1 plus the number of bosses and minibosses you've helped kill (up to level 12). You get feat picks at these levels:

Character level	1	4	8	12
Total feat picks	1	2	3	4

Taking a feat. Press L to open the character sheet and go to the Feats tab. The top line shows how many picks you've used, for example "Feat picks: 1/2 used." Click a feat to see its description and prerequisite, then press Take This Feat. Feats you own are highlighted. The button only works if you have a pick left, meet the prerequisite and don't already have the feat.
Feats are permanent. You can't swap a single feat. The only way to get picks back is the Reset Race, Class & Feats option (200 coins) at a trader, which also clears your race, class and subclass.
Prerequisites are checked all the time. If you stop meeting a feat's prerequisite (for example, you change class), the feat stays yours but does nothing until you meet it again. It still uses a pick.

Prerequisites

Most feats have no prerequisite. These do:

Feat	Requires
Ironclad	Fighter or Paladin class
Mail Adept	Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger or Runesmith class
Battle Mage, Far Caster, Element-Bound, Spellshaper	Being able to cast at least one spell, through your class, subclass, race or a spell-granting feat

Armor weight classes

The armor feats use each armor piece's weight (chest, legs and helmet only):

Heavy armor: at least one piece weighs 12 or more.
Medium armor: at least one piece weighs 6 or more and none weigh 12 or more.

Resilient damage type

The Resilient feat protects against one damage type, chosen with the mod's config option ResilientType (section FEFFeats). The choices are Fire, Frost, Lightning and Poison. The default is Poison. After you change it, log out and back in (reload your character) for the change to apply.
