FEATS for Swords & Wizardry Whitebox Edition

Players select one feat for their character at level 1, and then select additional feats every few levels. Exactly how
often is left to the GM’s discretion, but possibilities include: levels 1, 3, 6, 10; or 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; or1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10; or
maybe every level, if you want particularly powerful PCs.

Feats are selected either from the list of general feats, available to all classes, or from the list of class specific feats.

Unless otherwise stated, a feat may only be taken once.
