Some abilities are not tied to your race, class, or skills—things like particularly quick reflexes that allow you to react to danger more swiftly, the ability to shrug of the effects of non-lethal damage, the savage nature of the bhriota who are trained to deliver vicious strikes with melee weapons, or the supreme talent of a dead- eye crack-shot who delivers more than his fair share of damage with each strike. These abilities are represented as feats.
While some feats are more useful to certain types of characters than others, and many of them have special prerequisites that must be met before they are selected,
as a general rule feats represent abilities outside of the normal scope of your character’s race and class. Many of them alter or enhance class abilities or soften class restrictions, while others might apply bonuses to your statistics or grant you the ability to take actions otherwise prohibited to you.
By selecting these feats, you can customize and adapt your Vathak-based characters to be unique individuals equipped with the special edge needed for survival in these cursed lands.
