Feats

These feats are in addition to those found in the Players Handbook.

 
Arcane Blood
    Requires: Spellcasting Feature
    If you have a metamagic feature and sorcery points with your class, you gain one additional metamagic option chosen from the sorcerers 
    metamagic list, and you gain 1 additional sorcery point.

    Otherwise you may choose a single metamagic option from the sorcerers spell list. You also gain 2 sorcery points which can be used 
    to apply the metamagic feature to your spells.



Cooperative Casting
    Requires: Spellcasting Feature
    You may aid a spell caster to empower their spells. You must expend a level 1 or higher spell slot as a bonus action and be 
    within 10' of the other spell caster. Using this feat counts as casting a spell of level 1 or higher. Multiple spell casters can
     aid a single caster using this feature at the same time, but the features do not stack. The spell caster may choose one of the
      following actions on their turn:
    •  Cast a prepared spell using a spell slot 1 level lower then stated. They can for example cast a 3rd level spell using a 
    2nd level spell slot.
    •  Cast a spell with a saving throw DC 2 higher.
    •  Cast a spell at a higher level. The spell is increased in level with the level of the spell slot you expended in aiding.
    •  Cast a spell that is on your both of your spell lists but is not prepared. The spell must be at most 1 level higher then the 
    spell slot chosen and the spell slot you expend must be at least the same level. For example, a 3rd level wizard could aid another
    3rd level wizard to cast a fireball. Both casters must expend a 2nd level spell slot.

    and if successful, the attack does not do any damage.  Your opponent must succeed at a Strength (Athletics) check  vs. your 
    Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check or they are disarmed or tripped.  If disarmed, the item falls in the nearest
     adjacent space close to you.
    • You can also use a whip to grasp an unattended Small or Tiny object within your whip’s reach and pull that object into your
     square. To do so, you must hit AC 10 for a small object, and AC 14 for a tiny one. Further, you can use the whip to grasp onto
      an object within your whip’s reach, using your whip as if it were a grappling hook, allowing you to use the whip to swing on

       while the whip is grasping an object.
