Moving through the Unearthed Arcana that is OneD&D, Shawn and Teos talk about the future of Feats, while it occurs to the editor that he has twice made the joke around ‘Feats, don’t fail me now’ in these write-ups. So instead of more hacky humor, you’ll just learn that the future of Feats extends beyond the 20th-level threshold, so you’ll have plenty of room to shoehorn those Feats in!
