Feats

A feat is a special feature that either gives your character a new capability or improves one he or she already has.

All feats described in the core rulebook are allowed in the world of Merisyl. Feats from other supplements may be allowed, at the discretion of the GM.

The specific feats listed here are either new to the world of Merisyl, or are particularly appropriate to the theme of the world.
