Feats

At class levels 4, 8, and 12, players can choose to take a feat instead of increasing their Ability Scores. Feats are character features that grant unique abilities or bonuses which improve a character's abilities in specified areas.

 Fighters and  Rogues also gain access to bonus feats, with the fighter gaining a bonus feat at level 6 and the rogue at level 10.

When you make an unarmed attack, use an improvised weapon, or throw something, your strength modifier is added twice to the damage and Attack rolls.[See: Bugs] Note: Unarmed attacks that use Dexterity as a modifier still gain the strength modifier as a bonus with this feat and thus don't get the Dexterity modifier applied twice to the attack.
Tough	Hit Point maximum increased by 2 for each level.
War Caster	You gain Advantage on Saving throws to maintain  Concentration on a Spell. You can also use a Reaction to cast Shocking Grasp at a target moving out of melee range.

Weapon Master	Increase your  Strength or  Dexterity by 1, to a maximum of 20. Gain Proficiency with four Weapon types of your choice.

Bugs

• As of Hotfix 6, the bonus Strength modifier damage from throws with Tavern Brawler seems to be directly applied to objects, bypassing any Toughness condition they may have. Thus, even if a character cannot deal enough normal damage in a single attack, they can still slowly but surely chip down the health of any locked door or chest by repeatedly throwing an item.

Trivia

• Some feats were changed from their D&D 5e counterparts. For a detailed comparison see D&D 5e Feat Changes.
