Description

Something in your background justifies that you have a particular Feat.

You gain one free General Feat or Prowess of your choice, even if you don't meet the prerequisites or if this Feat is forbidden by your Archetype.

You have to justify to the Game Master why this Prowess makes sense considering your background.

For example, if you chose to play a character from the Emirate of Granada, you could choose the Prowess Heal, because Islamic medicine was far more advanced than the Christian one.

If you play a Lombard, it makes sense to have the Rich Feat etc...
