The new Dungeons & Dragons book Eberron: Forge of the Artificer is a slim volume overall, but it takes the space to pack in a boatload of new feats. These are all tied to Dragonmarks, symbols that grant powers and advantages to various characters in Eberron. Basic Dragonmark feats can be acquired at any level in an Eberron campaign, while Greater Mark feats show up later as upgrades to Dragonmarks.
In total, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer introduces 28 new feats. 13 of these are Dragnonmark feats, 14 are Greater Marks, and one is an Epic Boon for any level 19 character in an Eberron campaign. With so much to choose from, it would be a waste not to pick feats when leveling in Eberron.
All Dragonmark Feats In Eberron: Forge of the Artificer
Dragonmark feats can be acquired by characters from the start, often arising from specific backgrounds in Eberron. Aside from the Aberrant Dragonmark, each of these bears certain hallmarks, adding 1d4 to certain skill checks and opening up a unique spell list for anyone with Spellcasting or Pact Magic.
