Feats
From Beyond the Pale
Feats are special abilities that can be purchased from the site shop. They are distinct from rituals. They are inspired by the feat system in Dungeons & Dragons.
Custom Feats
If you purchase the Custom Feat item, you can work with staff members to craft a feat that's unique to your character. To get started, review some of our guidelines below and open a ticket in Discord to discuss what you want to create.
- A custom feat may have physical, mental or supernatural effects. However, it cannot be as powerful or overtly magical as a ritual.
- Accepted feats with supernatural effects are generally metaphysical and related to the occult. An accepted custom feat would be one that allows you to see ghosts or see glimpses of the future.
- Unaccepted feats are overtly magical in nature (i.e. conjuring fire) or overpowered (i.e. all your attacks hit.)
