Studies

A character chooses two studies at level 1, one study at level 10 and one study at level 15. The studies chosen determine what feats a character may have access to purchasing.

A character may focus one study feat per level up to a maximum of ten. Each feat can be purchased a maximum of three times, with the second and third purchases costing a bit more than the first. Feat tier determines feat cost. In order to purchase a new feat for the first time, you must have the feats below it in study. However, the number of lower tier feats does not limit subsequent purchases. In other words, to purchase a third tier feat for the first time, you would need to spend eight experience on it and already have at least one purchase of the first and second tier feats. If you wanted to buy an additional usage of the third tier feat, you would still only need one usage of the first and second tier feats. Progression through a study is not related to the progression of any other study.

When you select a study that has abilities that can target other individuals/creatures, you will be able to choose from the delivery methods of melee attack, ranged attack or spell. All of the adjustable feats of that study will utilize that chosen method. Abilities with Activation or Performance delivery method are not adjusted and may or may not require a verbal depending on the feat. Despite this versatility, you may still only select each study once.
