A Compendium of Feats for 5th Edition D&D (v1.6)

Feats

A feat represents a talent or area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience and abilities beyond what a class provides.

At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional Feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take a Feat of your choice instead. You can take each feat only once, unless the Feat’s description says otherwise.

You must meet any prerequisite specified in a Feat to take that Feat. If you ever lose a Feat’s prerequisite, you can’t use that feat until you regain the prerequisite. For example, the Grappler feat requires you to have a Strength of 13 or higher. If your strength is reduced below 13 somehow - perhaps by a withering curse - you can’t benefit from the Grappler Feat until your Strength is restored.

Mystic Link

You are able to extend a portion of your life force to forge a mystic link with a willing creature companion. In order to successfully forge a link, you must spend one uninterrupted hour concentrating on and interacting with the creature. The creature companion must be a non-humanoid creature of challenge rating 1 or lower, size Large or smaller, and not hostile toward you. You cannot be linked to more than one creature at a time and a creature cannot be the subject of more than one link. After successfully the creature companion’s statistics change as follows:

• Its armor class changes to equal 13 + your proficiency bonus.
• Its hit points change to 5 + five times your character level and increase by that increment each time your character level increases.
• Its proficiency bonus equals your proficiency bonus.

Your creature companion is friendly to you and your companions. In combat, the creature companion shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it will take is the Dodge action unless you use your bonus action to command it to take another action. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can exchange one attack to command your creature companion to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, your creature companion can take any action of its choice.

The Mystic Link comes at great cost. While you have an active link, your Hit Dice are reduced by 2, to a minimum of 1. If your creature companion drops to 0 hit points, it dies, and you must immediately make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, you take an amount of psychic damage equal to ½ of your creature companion’s total hit points and are stunned for 1d4 rounds. On a success, you take half as much damage and are not stunned. If your link is broken in this way, you may not attempt to forge a mystic link with another creature for one month. You may end your link with a creature companion by spending one uninterrupted hour concentrating on breaking your link. Your creature companion may end their link with you as a bonus action. Your link ends after twenty-four hours if you and your creature companion are not on the same plane.

Snake Style

Your strikes are light, but rapid, connecting numerous times and at numerous places against your opponent. Simultaneously, your fluid movements make you a difficult target, you gain the following bonuses:

• At the beginning of your turn, select one creature you can see to gain a +1 bonus to AC against until the beginning of your next turn.
• Once per turn, if you roll a 1 on your unarmed damage die, you gain an additional melee attack against the same target as part of that action.
• While you are prone, creatures don’t have advantage on you while and you don’t have disadvantage on them.

Tai Chi

You are able to direct enemy aggression into a weakness. The more aggressive the opponent, the more energy you can direct back. You gain the following:

• If a creature’s melee attack roll against you misses, the difference between the attack result and your AC becomes a damage bonus on your next melee attack. This attack must be made on your next turn against the target that missed you, and if you miss, the damage bonus is lost.
• If a creature’s melee attack roll against you is a natural 1, you can knock the target prone and make a melee attack as a reaction.
• If you suffer a critical hit from a melee attack, you have advantage on your attack against that target.

• If you are not grappled and your legs otherwise restrained, your unarmed kick attacks increase their damage die by one step (1 > 1d4 > 1d6 > 1d8 > 1d10 > 1d12 ).
• If you score a critical hit against a target your size or smaller, you inflict maximum damage. If that target is humanoid, it is knocked Prone.

Tiger Claw

The tiger is an apex predator that you emulate. Your attacks are based on getting close, real close. Getting within your enemy’s reach, you hope to prevent a strong counterattack, and you kick too. You gain the following bonuses:

• Your jumping distance increases by your Strength + your Proficiency bonus.
• Your unarmed hand attacks can inflict slashing damage.
• Tiger Fury: You can spend 20 feet of movement and move to occupy the same space as your opponent—you no longer occupy a space around said opponent and allies can attack through you. Any target occupying your space cannot use the Disengage action.
• Tigers Kill: If you hit a target with an unarmed attack, you can choose to inflict additional claw (slashing) damage equal to your proficiency bonus once per round. This attack also ignores any resistance the target might have. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining use after a long rest.
