The feat economy: what your picks actually draw from

Counted from logic/feat-groups.jsonl (9,545 features), logic/ class-progressions.jsonl, and logic/choice-chains.jsonl (60 selections, 1,038 option links) — build 20212986, patch 2.7.0x.

The game ships 9,545 feature blueprints. Your character will ever choose from a sliver of them — and knowing which sliver changes how you read any build guide.

The selection pools

Group-tag census across all 9,545 features:

| Pool | Members | |---|---:| | General feats | 260 | | Combat feats | 144 | | Oracle revelations | 63 | | Mythic abilities | 68 | | Kineticist wild talents | 40 | | Slayer / rogue talents | 38 / 37 | | Barbarian rage powers | 37 | | Mythic feats | 46 |

Two-thirds of everything shipped (5,559 of 9,545) is flagged as a class feature — granted by progression, never offered as a pick. When a build guide says "take Power Attack," it's drawing from the 260-item general pool (or the 144-item combat pool); when it says "take the revelation," that's a separate 63-item economy with its own budget.

The cadence

The shared BasicFeatsProgression grants a general-feat choice at every odd character level: 1, 3, 5 … 19 — ten picks by level 20. Then it keeps going: the schedule runs to level 59, well past Legend's twenty extra mortal levels — a feat every other level, all the way up.

Combat feats aren't a separate cadence — they're the same odd-level picks drawing from a combat-tagged pool that class features grant access to.

Choices inside choices

60 selection features expand into 1,038 option links (logic/choice-chains.jsonl) — a selection is itself a pool: take the selection, then pick its member. That's how one "feat slot" can offer thirty options, and why the site renders each selection's member list directly on its page.

Reading build guides with this in hand

  • A "must-take feat" list is competing for ~10 slots from a 260-item pool — scarcity is the real cost.
  • Archetypes don't add to the general pool; they trade class features in and out.
  • Mythic feats (46) ride a separate budget — they appear on the mythic rank track, not the character-level schedule above.

Per-feat prerequisites live on every page in our Feats section.
