General Feats are summarized on the table below. Note that the prerequisites and benefits of the feats on this table are abbreviated for ease of reference. See the feats description for full details.
The following format is used for all feat descriptions.
Feat Name: The feat’s name.
Category/Type: Some feats fit into more than one category, such as Teamwork or Channeling feats. While Teamwork feats are an official “category”, “Channeling” is not. Channeling feats are those which require the Channel Energy feat or class feature as a prerequisite. This category (or subcategory) is created by d20pfsrd.com editors simply for convenience in sorting feats and clustering them together along “like” themes etc.
Prerequisite: A minimum ability score, another feat or feats, a minimum base attack bonus, a minimum number of ranks in one or more skills, or anything else required in order to take the feat. This entry is absent if a feat has no prerequisite. A feat may have more than one prerequisite.
Benefit: What the feat enables the character (“you” in the feat description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once, its benefits do not stack unless indicated otherwise in the description.
Normal: What a character who does not have this feat is limited to or restricted from doing. If not having the feat causes no particular drawback, this entry is absent.
Special: Additional unusual facts about the feat.
