The following dozen feats were created to offer more customization options for those wishing to play characters based on the fey and related races. Although primarily built around a fey theme, several of the feats are also appropriate for other character types or monster races as well. For those running a modern era fantasy campaign, many of these feats could also be utilized in the Shadow Chasers or Urban Arcana campaign settings for d20 Modern by Wizards of the Coast with little or no modification.

Special: This feat may only be selected at first level.
