Complete feats Compendium

Dungeons & Dragons 5E

Introduction and background

This compendium list all the available feats published for Dungeons and Dragons 5E. Some af from the
official books like Players Handbook and Xanathar’s Guide (XGE) and others are from Unearthed Arcana
(UA). If a feat has first been published in UA and then later become part of the official rulebooks – only the
latter version is included as this is the prevailing rule.
This compendium comes with an optional rule variant that easily can be replaced with the core rules in
PHB rules. One of the repeating (and only material) concerns that DND 5E has received criticism on from
experienced players is:
Though this version is much better balanced, structured and simplified compared to previous versions –
one dimension of the game is missed by specially players coming from previous versions. The flexibility to
build and diverse a character using feats based on the player freedom to choose. In DnD 5E feats has to a
great extent been built into the classes and races. In the first 1-3 levels there are plenty and good ways for
the player to choose freely what differentiation his character should have through the subraces and
subclasses. But after this and all the way to level 20 the players ability to chose freely how his character
should develop is somewhat very limited as the path towards the class feats is now locked and set.
In addition, the choice between ability score increase and selecting one feat – specially in the levels below
10 tends to favor that players most of the time selects the ability increases.
There are plenty of very good and interesting feats already published for DND 5E, however even if adding
100 more it does not really create a lot of customization options. Why? Because the class mechanisms do
not create flexibility for the players to bring feats very much into play except on level 4,8,12,16 and 19. As
mentioned experience shows that the option to choose a feat is often sacrificed in favor of the ability score
increases – specially in the levels 1-12.
In addition, there are also a few “dead” levels in each class where not much happens for several of the
classes. This is for example level 5,9 for several classes. All in all for those players who in DnD 3.5E used to
love spending time between the levels to prepare what they should select as feats etc. when reaching next
level – this is not required to a great extend anymore as levelling has become more trivial.
For players and DMs who want to change this and want to put the published feats more into play and
create more customization options for the classes, the below optional rule variant can be applied instead.
Level advancement variant rule

 The core game rules regarding gaining ability score increases or select a feat when reaching level
advancement 4, 8, 12, 16 and 19 is cancelled for all classes and subclasses.
 Instead this below rules are applied. These level advancement rules are the same for all classes and
subclasses.

Following should be noted:

 As in the basic rules, if multiclassing, the above level advancement benefits follows the class levels
– not the total character level
 A feat can only be selecting once. Even the feats that can stack or be chosen several times
according to the basic rules.
 A player can always choose to increase one ability score +1 instead of selecting a feat (cannot
increase an ability score beyond 20)
 As several feats also grants an increase in an ability score it is still possible to both benefit from
ability score increases and customization from the features gained through the selected feat.
