    Default Is there a list of races with bonus feats

    I'm interested in seeing a list of races that come with bonus feats. Not just races like Human or Strongheart Halfling, but also specific bonus feats, like Desert Kobold with Heat Endurance or the Hadozee and Dodge, etc.

    Anyone got a link for a list like this?

    This thread here lists a lot, though I imagine it's not exhaustive.

    It can be a bit difficult to tease out some of the feat-equivalent proficiencies. Elves are the "easy" one; you'd need to list every variety of elf (for the rapier, longsword, longbow, and shortbow). Drow have a few replacements.

    Then you get into the question of what races you're looking at. Just the LA +0, and no racial HD? A Janni (for example) has 6 RHD and gets Improved Initiative as a bonus feat. It's listed as a playable race (LA +5). Between the RHD and the LA, it'd be a very rare table that sees one in play as a PC, but it does get the bonus feat.

    Hill Giants are another. They get proficiency in simple weapons, martial weapons, light and medium armor, and shields. They're technically playable characters.
    Grimlocks are proficient with the Battleaxe.
    Lizardfolk are proficient with simple weapons and shields.
    Minotaurs are proficient with the greataxe and simple weapons.
    Ogres are proficient with simple weapons, martial weapons, light and medium armor, and shields.

    Templates can give them too. Lycanthropes are particularly weird. They're called out as getting Iron Will as a bonus feat. But:

    "Add the base animal’s feats to the base creature’s. If this results in a lycanthrope having the same feat twice, the lycanthrope gains no additional benefit unless the feat normally can be taken more once, in which case the duplicated feat works as noted in the feat description.This process may give the lycanthrope more feats than a character of its total Hit Dice would normally be entitled to; if this occurs, any “extra” feats are denoted as bonus feats."

    For non-proficiency bonus feats:

    Satyrs get Alertness.
    Pixies get Dodge.
    Troglodytes get Multiattack.
    Yuan-ti Purebloods get Alertness and Blind-Fight.

    I think that's it for "playable" races from MM1.

    Point of order: Hadozee don't get dodge?

    Racial Traits
    Gliding: Hadozee can use their arm-flaps to glide, negating damage from a fall of any height and allowing them to travel 20 feet horizontally for every 5 feet of descent. A hadozee glides at a speed of 40 feet (average maneuverability).

    +4 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks: Hadozee are natural climbers and have no fear of narrow pathways. A hadozee does not lose her Dexterity bonus to AC while climbing and can climb unimpeded while holding something in one hand.

    Favored Class: Rogue .

    Oh, huh. How did overlook that? At least my PCs haven't fought any yet, so no harm done.

    Unless you're making use of some very specific class abilities or features that greatly boost dodge you're probably going to forget that situational +1AC anyway.

    Nowhere near - doesn't have any of the races with the dragonblood feat at very first glance.

    Figured I'd ask before I started making up a proper list that I might post here.

    The RotD web enhancement kobolds get Martial Weapon Proficiency (Heavy Pick) and Martial Weapon Proficiency (Light Pick) as bonus feats. Good for DCFSing out when you're going Pun Pun not stupid enough to think those are anything but crap feats.

    I love compiling, or helping compile, lists.

    These lists would be a good place to start searching:
