Upon first level, each character may gain a minor/flavour feat, proficiency or similar. These must be talked through with the DM.Picking Feat vs ASI
At any levelling point where you'd have to decide between a feat or an ASI you may either pick a ASI increase (+2 to one ability or +1/+1 to two ability scores) or you may pick a feat in addition with one +1 ability score increase (e.g. increasing a 15 in INT to a 16).Others
Blaze of Glory
You may auto-fail all your death save for one last Glorious Stand - a critical success, and narrative lead.Spellscrolls
You can use any spellscroll (even if it's not on your classes spell list) as long as you are either a spellcaster or proficient in arcana. If the spell is not on your class's spell list, or if it is above your casting level, you roll an arcana check/roll your spell ability to see if you succeed. The DC is 10+spell level. If you fail, the scroll is destroyed without you being able to cast.Travel Weariness
