Over on the 5e subforum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?576456-Variant-Grim-and-Gritty-5e), I was working out houserules for a gritty, low-power version of 5e, using the old e6 rules as a starting point*. One of the things discussed were late-game feats, things you could do with your ASIs after you'd already picked up what you need for your character concept. So... we came up with two categories: Paragon Feats, which require an ability score of 20, and Capstone Feats, which require a total character level of 6 or higher.
Legendary Strength
Prerequisite: Strength 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make a Strength check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
You count as one size category larger when determining your carrying capacity and how large a foe you can grab or shove.
You gain a +5 bonus on Strength checks made to lift, push, break, or otherwise manhandle an object.
Legendary Dexterity
Prerequisite: Dexterity 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make a Dexterity check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
You may use your Dexterity score to determine how far you can jump, and for ability checks based on climbing or jumping.
You gain a climb speed equal to your land speed, and you may balance on objects as narrow as one inch without having to make a check. When determining if an object can support your weight, you are counted as only half as heavy as you actually are.
Legendary Constitution
Prerequisite: Constitution 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make a Constitution check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
When you would have a condition or level of exhaustion imposed on you, you may use a reaction to choose to ignore it until the end of your next turn. You cannot use this ability more than once against the same effect.
Legendary Intelligence
Prerequisite: Intelligence 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make an Intelligence check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
When making an ability check to which one could apply a proficiency bonus, you may add your Intelligence bonus to your roll. You may choose to do so after you have seen the result of your roll but before the DM announces the result. Once you have used this ability three times, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.
Legendary Wisdom
Prerequisite: Wisdom 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make a Wisdom check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
You gain blindsense out to a range of 10ft.
As a bonus action, you may meditate on a specific course of action, learning whether its results will be good, bad, mixed, or neither. This ability does not take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.
Legendary Charisma
Prerequisite: Charisma 20, no other Legendary ____ feat
You gain the following benefits:
When you make a Strength check, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8
As long as you are able to speak, you may use the Help action as a bonus action to aid an ally within 30ft who can hear you.
Advanced Barbarian
Prerequisite: Barbarian 5
You may use your Rage ability one additional time before taking a long rest, and your bonus damage increases by 1.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. The benefits stack.
Advanced Bard

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. The benefits stack.
Advanced Cleric
Prerequisite: Cleric 5
Select one of the following spells--Commune, Death Ward, Divination, Freedom of Movement, Greater Restoration, Hallow, or Locate Creature. You may cast your chosen spell as a ritual. Once you have done so, you may not do so again until you have completed a long rest.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times, choosing a new spell each time. You may still only cast one of your chosen spells as a ritual before completing a long rest
Advanced Druid
Prerequisite: Druid 5
Select one of the following spells: Awaken, Commune with Nature, Conjure Woodland Beings, Control Winds, Polymorph, Stone Shape, or Stoneskin. You may cast your chosen spell as a ritual. Once you have done so, you may not do so again until you have completed a long rest.

Also from previous feat projects...

Upon choosing this feat, you learn one cantrip from your class list (or the Cleric list in the case of Paladins, or the Druid list in the case of Rangers). If you prepare spells, you may prepare an additional two spells at once; if you have a list of spells known, you may immediately learn two additional spells of first level or higher from your class list, which do not count towards your total number of spells known.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times, learning new spells and/or preparing more spells each time.
*In a nutshell: Once you hit level 6, you stop gaining new levels; instead, every 10,000 xp you gain an ASI.
