Hi All

 

Just finished reading the PHB and im unsure of something in relation to feats. Is it possible to get them at start of play with a new level 1 character or do you need to wait for your first Attribute Increases ?

Human variant trait starts with two +1 ability scores, a skill prof, and a feat at level one, but otherwise you're correct in that you have to wait for your first ability score increase. I expect to see starting feats in DMG as a rule variant.

Feats are an option you can take instead of an attribute increase, so no, you can't get them at 1st level. When you have the option to take attribute inceases, you can forego that increase and instead take a feat.

Thanks for the response. It's confirmed I wasn't misreading ! I think ObeseBoyWonder is probably correct and that it's likely to be an optional rule at some point.

I just want to point out that the human variant that gets a feat is already in the game: it's not a thing that might show up in the DMG, it's already in the Players' Handbook.
