Introduction Besides the fighter and the mage, feats are gained rather slowly for other character classes. Some GMs have resorted to handing out feats more often in order to get more use out of them. However, this creates imbalances and robs the fighter of their uniqueness. uniqueness. This supplement suggests a means for characters and GMs to reach a compromise. Most feats give a sizable boost in power. Qualities, or half-feats, divide that power and distribute it more evenly. Thus, instead of receiving a sudden boost, qualities give an incremental advantage. Why bother? It might not matter so much at high levels, but at lower levels that extra little oomph does make a difference. They also show the gradual development of a character, rather than a sudden jump. Qualities also add ‘colour’ to a character, giving traits that separate him from his peers. Before, there were feats that did add more versatility to a character, but often these were too costly for a character to take up. For example, would a half-orc barbarian waste a precious feat slot on a trait like Threatening ? (Which gives a Strength bonus to Intimidate checks) Or Fearless? (Gives bonus to saves versus fear and fear-like effects) Qualities also serve to present special traits or skills that would otherwise be discarded as being too trifling to waste an all important feat slot on. Hopefully these qualities will find play in your campaign. The GM should be the final arbiter on the use of qualities in your game. Please check with him first before picking them. Bridge Qualities : Some qualities can be picked twice to convert them to feats, and are known as ‘bridge qualities’. They giving small (but important) bonuses, which shows the character’s training in progress as he trains for a feat. Not all feats have bridges though.
Once a character gains the feat, the bridge is considered ‘lost’. In most cases, he is not allowed to pick up that quality again.
Gaining Qualities A character gains qualities according to the table below. As before, Humans still gain an additional feat at Level 1 which they can convert into two qualities if they desire. Optionally, you can allow all non-human races access to a non-bridge quality. Any feat slot can be converted into two quality slots. Char Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

A character with one quality may opt NOT to use it, but must do so when he has two qualities, converting converting them into a feat if need be.

Certain weapons are generally similar. A shortbow is more or less similar in use to a longbow, and so is a club and a mace. These weapons are grouped into ‘families’. Gaining (Greater) Weapon Focus and and Specialization , if you already have that feat for a weapon in the same family, only requires investing in a quality. This reflects the similarity in skill required to wield these weapons, so the player need not use a whole feat to pick up additional expertise in that weapon.
