Feat first lvl for 2 stats?

[Desteplo]

Orc with +1 strength but Gains a feat first lvl? Instead of 2str/1con
-would that be a fair trade?

not really... free death ward (a L4 spell) is already way more powerful than a feat.

Compare vuman to half-elf, a feat ~ +2Cha, +1 skill, darkvision, fey ancestry.

That would be somewhat equivalent to +2Str, Intimidate, darkvision, savage attack.


That being said, +1Con is much weaker as you cannot get 16 anywhere interesting. Allowing something other than vuman with a feat is rule-as-fun.

So, I would give relentless endurance and Con+1, maybe darkvision. Only for weak feat would Intimidate be added.
