Feats

Description[]

Fall of Man Rule Books 3.0: "A feat is an achievement that requires great courage, skill, or strength. In Fall of Man it is an extra perk that players are allowed to add to their character to give them an edge in combat or roleplaying.

Every character gains one (1) feat when they enter the game and an additional feat for every three (3) sessions that character plays in (First (1st) feat at first (1st) session, Second (2nd) feat at fourth (4th) session, Third (3rd) feat at seventh (7th) session etc.). The sessions do not have to be consecutive.

Feats are character locked, and will not be applied to every character that a single player uses. Each feat can only be taken once per character unless stated otherwise. These are the feats that players are allowed to choose from. (While it would benefit every player to have a general knowledge of what each feat does, it is each player's responsibility to know what every one of their feats do, and be able to inform any player who asks.)"
