Racial Feats

Although not an official category of feats, we found it easiest to break feats with a particular racial prerequisite into their own category. Most of these feats are specialized or intended to be used only with a particular race but can be taken by characters of other races with GM permission. Many will require some alteration to work with other races, however.

Feat Descriptions

Racial feats are summarized on the tables below. Note that the prerequisites and benefits of the feats on these tables are often abbreviated. See the feats description for full details. The "Category/Type" column indicates what OTHER categories these feats fall into. In all cases all feats on a particular racial table are also feats of that race's category/type.

The following format is used for all feat descriptions:

Feat Name: The feat's name also indicates what subcategory, if any, the feat belongs to, and is followed by a basic description of what the feat does.

Prerequisite: A minimum ability score, a required race, another feat or feats, a minimum bab, a minimum number of ranks in one or more skills, or anything else required in order to take the feat. This entry is absent if a feat has no prerequisite. A feat may have more than one prerequisite.

Benefit: What the feat enables the character (“you” in the feat description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once, its benefits do not stack unless indicated otherwise in the description.

Normal: What a character who does not have this feat is limited to or restricted from doing. If not having the feat causes no particular drawback, this entry is absent.

Special: Additional unusual facts about the feat.
