Feats. The new Feats sound amazing. by u/Eldritch_Raven in BaldursGate3

If you want to hone the perfect martial character, choose the ones that give you new combat maneuvers or better chances to land critical hits. Some feats allow you to add spells from the spell list of another class. These are perfect for diversifying your spellcasting ability.
