Feats - Magical v1

Brainstorm

feats should have a core ability that they offer

example feat: Sanctuary of Life. this feats core ability: the target receives a bonus to AC

This system will have feats comprised of premade components that behaviors alters

A basic feat for example would have

Source + Target + Behavior + Output

Higher level feats could add more behaviors to a feat to customize it further.

Classes will be limited as to which sources they can pull from. So a martial who doesn’t pick a subclass that allows for magic, can’t pull from magical sources.

Feat Types

Feat will have two types: Rudimentary and Flexible

Rudimentary feats cannot be changed and work as written.

Flexible feats can be changed or altered in some way (commonly by Sources or Behaviors).

TEML

All players start trained in a feat when they select it unless otherwise stated.

• Strike provides a bonus to AC
