General Rules - Vile Feats

Vile Feats

This is a list of vile and otherwise evil-oriented feats that do not appear in the Player's Handbook, but that I use in my campaigns. Most of these feats require that the character be evil, which makes them unusable for player characters. As feats get added to my ongoing campaigns, I will add more to this listing.

This list uses several abbreviations to show what sourcebook the entries were drawn from. For guidance as to what sourcebooks these abbreviations reference, see my key to Sourcebook Abbreviations.
