RACIAL FEATS
Leveling up in a class is the main way a character evolves during a campaign. Some DMs also allow the use of feats to customize a character. Feats are an optional rule in chapter 6, “Customization Options,” of the Player’s Handbook. The DM decides whether they’re used and may also decide that some feats are available in a campaign and others aren’t. This section introduces a collection of special feats that allow you to explore your character’s race further.
These feats are each associated with a race from Eberron (links at the end of this document), as summarized in the Racial Feats table. A racial feat represents either a deepening connection to your race’s culture or a physical transformation that brings you closer to an aspect of your race’s lineage.
The cause of a particular transformation is up to you and your DM. A transformational feat can symbolize a latent quality that has emerged as you age, or a transformation might be the result of an event in the campaign, such as exposure to powerful magic or visiting a place of ancient significance to your race. Transformations are a fundamental motif of fantasy literature and folklore. Figuring out why your character has changed can be a rich addition to your campaign’s story.
