1001100x02 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Feats are pretty character defining, so should all characters get a bonus feat at 1st level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobekli Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Origins and classes are good enough imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut_A6M5 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The bonus feat at 1st level has been pretty much the human defining racial trait since feats were implemented. I'd vote for sticking to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1001100x02 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Actually, humans got an extra feat at level 1 when d20 kicked off. But in 5e no one gets feats at the beginning, not even humans (DM option to implement variant humans aside); since SG-RPG's humans are distinctly different to those in the 5e SRD, going further offbook and bringing back the universal starting feat or else maybe a pool of bonus mission points doesn't seem that crazy.

shadowmyre Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 A bonus feat for all characters is a lateral shift. It would generally equate to about a mission's worth of XP (probably disallow feats that cost 8-9MP). It might let someone pick up a skill the group doesn't have or round out a class's weapon choice. Overall, it changes very little; it wouldn't break the game to start everyone with a feat in the 3-5MP range or even just give them 5MP to spend at start. It it isn't necessary, and it doesn't break anything, so either way should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Q~ Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've allowed every character to start with a feat in 5e for years, and it only adds to the fun. Sometimes it's racial feats only, other times it's open, but really - not only does it make the cookie-cutter characters a bit more unique, it also tends to increase the investment the players have in the characters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the RAW, I don't think so. But I'd like it if it was doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EinherjarLucian Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 TBH, it's your game table, if you want players in your campaign (Living Campaign aside) to have a bonus feat at first level, then you're the GM; make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
