Feats and Circles of Learning

Feats, in addition to manuals and spellbooks, allow you to choose the unique path your character evolves and develops along. A feat is a permanent feature your character gains; it could be permanent resistance to some kind of damage, additional bonuses to health points, or a class-specific bonus, or something else.

Many Feats are available at different Circles of Learning, with each Circle granting progressively greater ability in that Feat. Characters may choose to learn the same Feat on more than one Circle of Learning, giving them the combined benefits of both Circles. For example, a fighter might decide to learn the "Weapon Focus" feat for swords at both the 1st and 3rd Circles, and as a result would gain the increased damage and accuracy of both circles for their swords.

You can learn

1st Circle Feat at level 15

2nd Circle Feat at level 24

3rd Circle Feat at level 30

How Feats Work

Feats are special trainings that characters 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 can be gained at 100% while others may require additional training.
