Inventor Feats

 Every level at which you gain an Inventor feat, select one of the following feats. You must satisfy any prerequisites before taking the feat.
Filter Use These filters are still being tested and do not currently function properly on Mobile (Desktop View will work). Please use the Contact Us field on the main menu to report any issues.
You can apply filters, sort by, or hide columns by right-clicking them on a PC, or pressing ≡ on mobile. Your column order and visibility preferences will be kept after you switch pages.
All columns should function as the filters describe, with the following exceptions:
  • 'Between' Function: To use the 'between' function on any number column, separate each number with a space and then select the 'between' option (eg: '4 10', minus the quotations would get all results between 4 and 10).
  • 'NULL' or 'Empty' Results: Set filter 'Is Empty'. This will find results where we show an emdash —
  • PFS Legality: Numbers Only. 0 = No PFS Ruling; 1 = Standard; 2 = Limited; 3 = Restricted
  • Traits: Use 'Contains' for one Trait at a time. Does not support multiple Traits yet.

For increased filtering power, click the 'Export to CSV' button in the top-right of the grid and further filter the data in Excel or a similar medium.
