Alloy Feats



Feat Prerequisites

These are things a character must have to take or use the feat. Typical prerequisites are minimum ability scores, another feat or feats, training in a certain skill or skills, and a minimum character level expressed as a Tier of play.

A character can gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains all the prerequisites.

A character can’t use a feat if the character has lost a prerequisite.

If there is no listed prerequisite then the feat has none.

Note that the tier listing is a prerequisite in itself.

 

Feat Retraining

When a character levels up, he or she may choose to retrain a feat they have for any other feat they meet the prerequisites for. This does allow a character to retrain a Street Level feat for a Heroic feat immediately upon attaining 11th level.

You cannot retrain a feat that is a prerequisite for any other ability you have (including other feats).
