[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8444421, member: 7017196"] Pretty much I've done this with the last couple of campaigns I DMed. Of course for those ones I pretty much had the players start off with a Racial Feat. So a Drow player started off with the Drow High Magic and I'd had a Half-Elf have a pick of both the Human OR the Elven Racial feats since he's technically both. And I even try to extend this rule to "all" the potential races, as far as I can, in regards to the other race options in 5E. Consequently, while doing the whole Racial Feat at level one, I allow all the Xanathar Racial Feats as well as the UA Racial Feats, such as Grudge-Bearer. And then I take this concept even further if there is a "link" or connection between races with one another in regards to Racial Feats. For example: Dwarven Racial Feats can be taken by both Dwarves [I]AND[/I] "Giant-Kin" type characters, such as the Firbolg, and ala the Races of Stone book, Gnomes(rock) and Goliaths. Half-Orc Racials Feats can be taken by both Half-Orcs as well as Orc pcs. Elven Racial Feats can be taken by Elves, Gnomes, or [I]any[/I] race option that is typed as [I]Fey.[/I] (The Shadar-Kai get a bit murky in this regard following this rule, but since they were Fey in 3.0, Humanish in 4E, and now Elves in 5E, then they would follow the Half-Elf Racial Feat selection choice when going this route. That or you just give them their UA Cantrips as a Racial Feat/Blessing from the Raven Queen and call it a day.) Dragonborn Racial Feats can be taken by both Dragonborn [I]and[/I] Kobold pcs. (Since Kobolds pretty much are/were related to Dragons and could become "True Dragons" via the Dragonwought feat in 3.5.) Hmmm, by that logic, would that also include Lizardfolk as well being able to nab a Dragonborn Racial Feat? Hmmm. (And since Half-Dragons are just refluffed Dragonborn, that's a given.) If it gets to a point where I can't "figure out" something as close as possible, then that's where the Supernatural Feats/ala a Feat at level 1 comes in.
