[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9008864, member: 58172"] Heh, its more like ages 20 to 49 are the soldiers. 50 and up are the generals. "Elder" has its own benefits. Yeah, the Species traits are bundling into feats. So a character that is a member of a single Species, chooses all three feats from that Species. But a character that is a member of two Species, can choose the three feats from either or both. For example, one feat from one parent and two feats from the other, or all three from one of the parents. Since 2014, the standard feats are in the Players Handbook, then Xanathars and Tashas. But these special feats for the Species are really a "half feat". For example, in Tashas there is a half feat called Fey Touched. Half the benefit improves an Ability Score by 1. The other half grants the Misty Step spell and a slot 1 spell of choice. If a DM wanted, this half feat can work as a special feat to choose from, by granting the half that gives the spells, but not the half that improves the Ability Score. Half-a-feat. In the UA Playtest, the Background feats are likewise a half feat. Note, the Species comes with a choice of three special feats. So, if the DM wanted, a player can spend two special feats to choose a full feat, like PAM (PoleArm Mastery), and still have one special feat left over, for a half feat. [/QUOTE]
