This is the third update to a rather ambitious project I've been working on. Moving onto the Ancestry Feats, I've completed those for Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Aasimar, Aaracokra, Tortle, and Aasimar. Some love shown to the Kobold too, but still working on that.

Th ultimate goal is a system of feats for more customizable characters, utilizing the categories of Race/Species/Ancestry, Background, Class, with the idea in mind that each of these should open up doors to new avenues of growth.

I know that my own, and most peoples', games are mostly lower level and as such, this system is designed to allow a party to stay within the bounds of Tier 1 & 2 themes and gameplay, while still growing mechanically. Moreover, it is my intent to enable both DMs and Players to more employ more creative agency over the courase of that growth by:

• Completing 9 feats for each Race, 9 feats for each Class, and 3+ (we'll see) feats for each background,
• Organizing these feats into leveled progressions, allowing for collaborative, DM-optional, rewards between level ups and after completion of story arcs,
• Filling in the "holes" of character progression, whether in terms of flavor, mechanics, or just "wouldn't it be cool if"-ness, and
• Having fun together without completely breaking the game.

Want to wildshape into an owlbear, or fluidly from one form to another, à la Doric? There's a feat for that. How about a dragon? That too. Want to be a super original Gloomstalker Ranger with panther companion? You can do that.

Bards can unlock arcane performances weaving together themes and overtures, expanding their flavor beyond highly skilled inspiration vending machines. Monks cultivate a meditative practice to harness the power of mind and body more deeply. Ranger's can finally learn to actually become the masters of the wilds they were meant to feel like.

This is a work in progress. Please feel free to leave feedback and ideas of your own!
