Innate Feats

---

The following are considered innate feats: Animal Companion feats*, Monster feats, Racial feats, Universal Monster Abilities.
*If you have an animal companion, you can take these feats to enhance your companion but they can also take these feats using the normal feats they gain from HD to enhance themselves instead.

You can only acquire innate feats for yourself through your race, though some powers and items may temporarily grant you innate feats as well.

Unlike all other feats and power, the maximum tier for innate feats and powers gained from them is 5 or half your level rounded up, whichever is better. This allows low-level creatures to shine with abilities beyond their normal power because of their racial statistics.
