feats

== How Feats Work === Feats are special training that a character can obtain during their lifetime. Not all feats are available to all classes and not all feats are equal in benefits to each class. Learning a feat requires both gold and feat points. As a character gains in level he or she will be automatically given a small number of feat points which can be used to learn new feats. These are very rare and should be used with great care. Some feats learned at 100% while others may require additional training. Level 15: Learn a 1st circle feat Level 24: Learn a 2nd circle feat Level 30: Learn a 3rd circle feat There is also an experience penalty associated with feats. This penalty raises the xp required for levelling. Be aware that some combinations of feats can produce high xp penalties! == How Circles of Learning Work === Many feats are available at different circles of learning, with each circle granting progressively greater ability in that feat. Characters may also choose to learn the same feat at more than one circle of learning, giving them the combined benefits of both circles. For example, Thumper the Fighter chooses to learn the "Weapon Focus" feat for his sword skill at both 1st and 3rd circles of learning. He thus gains the combined advantages of both circles when using swords. === Feats command == With 'list' argument the 'feats' command displays the feats your character has learned along with the number of feats you can learn, if any. Be careful when you chose a feat, because there is no way to revert it. The 'feats learn' command has only one argument: feat number which you can obtain with 'feats circle' command. == Getting a list of feats === When standing at a guildmaster you may request a list of all feats by simply using the "feats circle" command with a number of circle you are interested in (1-3). Example: feats circle 2 This would display all feats at 2nd circle of learning. === Learning feats === To learn a feat at a guildmaster use "feat learn <number>". <number> is the number of the feat from the list supplied by the guildmaster. Example: feats learn 25 This would let your character learn the 25th feat listed by the guildmaster. === Known feats === ANIMAL COMPANIONS [Special] [RANGER] This feat allows you to call one additional animal of your choice.
