Backgrounds
Each of the backgrounds below comes with a feat. When creating a character for The Crooked Moon, if you do not choose a background which grants a feat, you get a bonus feat of your choice from among the feats presented in The Crooked Moon which do not have prerequisites.
Feats
Variant: Empowered Feats
Many of these feats are designed to be taken at 1st level, which means they are overall less powerful than most feats, but that can also make them less appealing to select at higher levels. At the GM's discretion, characters that select a feat from this list without a prerequisite of 4th level or higher can add the following benefit to the feat:
- Ability Score Increase. Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Dark Bargains
With the DM's permission, a Crooked Moon character can begin play with a dark bargain already, but they may decide to limit dark bargains to only being gained during play. Previous Dungeons & Dragons books, such as Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, have similar mechanics available, which your DM may be interested in. You should always discuss with your DM about what bargain you're taking, who offered it, what terms your character is subject to, and so on.
