Feats

For Feats in Elona+, see Feats (Elona+).

For Feats in Omake, see Feats (Omake overhaul).

For Feats in Mobile, see Feats (Mobile).

Feats are a way to gain unique traits and upgrade stats. They can be obtained in one of four ways:

• Selecting feats from the Feat menu (when you are given the chance to)
• Being of a particular race (each race has its own racial feats)
• Wearing equipment (the feat will be presented in the Feat menu with the words "Your equipment" preceding it.)
• Using certain items.

Characters get to select 3 free feats at generation and can earn a new feat every 5 levels for a total of 13 feats from gaining levels. A Secret experience of Kumiromi can also be used once for every 10 levels you have; it allows you to select one extra feat every time you use it.

If you drink a potion of descent at a feat-gaining level, you do not get another feat when you regain that level.

Elona+: Certain feats have been removed, altered, or given different effects in Elona+; in addition, several new feats have been added. For information on Elona+ specifically, reference here.

Omake Overhaul: Many feats have been reworked in OO, and there are many more feats. See Feats (Omake overhaul) for details.

Exorcist		Prevents Cursed Whisperings from Dooming your items while you sleep. Also seems to work occasionally on enemies' attempt at cursing your stuff.
Shield Bash		Increases the chance of performing a shield bash.
Gentle Face		Prevents monsters from fleeing from you.*

• Cheer provides nearby allies with Hero, Speed, and Contingency (Contingency buff was removed in later versions of Elona+.) Useful when combined with riding. While Cheer does not improve your own speed, it will raise the speed of your ride and in result make you faster as well. This works better at lower levels of riding, when your mount is noticeably slower than yourself; since the mount gets fewer turns, the spells will last longer.
• Gentle Face only prevents a monster from fleeing from low life caused by your hits. Ranged monster will still run to keep a distance from you. Also, Gentle Face only applies to hits you land, and not for those of your pets. If you have pets with you, the chances are that monsters still have a good chance to start running away in fear when their HP is low.

Racial Feats

Race	Feat	Notes
Yerles	One extra point per level	All other races receive three points to spend on skills per level, plus a bonus depending on their learning. This feat gives the character an extra point in addition to the above.
Juere	Can collect more materials
Juere	Slower digestion	Characters with this feat require less food. The downside is that food can improve your stats, but you will not get to eat as much as others, and food is not that difficult to come by.
Elea	Reduced damage from magic reaction	Much like Magic Capacity, reduces damage by 50%.
Elea	Reduced rate of Ether Disease	Probably the most attractive part about the Elea race. Reduces the rate at which symptoms of the Ether Disease show up. This also make the Elea race a favorable selection if you intend to wield/wear ether equipment (the Rail Gun, for example, is always made of ether.)
Dwarf	Poison resistance	Exactly what it says on the tin.
Dwarf	Darkness resistance	Exactly what it says on the can.
Mutant	"Your body is constantly changing"*	Gain new body parts (i.e. more equipment slots) at every level that is a multiple of 3, up to level 36, and only when you get this level for the first time. If too many body parts are generated, a percentile speed loss will be imposed on the character, 5% for each equipment slot over 13. This penalty is applied after all absolute value speed modifications (equipment, spells).
Golem	Immune to dimming	The only known method to gain immunity to the Dim condition is to select the Golem race.
Fairy	Outstanding resistance	Resists cold, lightning, darkness, mind, sound, nerve, chaos, and magic.
Fairy	You can't wear equipment that weighs more than 1s.	Exactly what it says on the can. Note that many items which appear to weigh 1s may actually weigh 1.0Xs and be unable to be equipped. In compensation, you get a bonus DV: 25% more from equipment and an additional 50 for equipping at least one item.
Lich	Resistance to Cold
Lich	Resistance to Poison
Lich	Strong Resistance to Darkness
Eulderna	Resistance to Magic
Goblin	Resistance to Darkness
Goblin	Gathers more materials

• You can receive the Mutant racial feat by using a secret treasure, which is only available in wizard mode. Note that how many equipment slots you will gain fully depends on how early you use the secret treasure, and potions of descent do NOT help.
