Description
Something in your past 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, this should not be abused to Min/Max your character.
For example, if you grew up in the streets before being adopted by a rich Aristocrat, it makes sense for you to have the Outlaw Wisdom Feat although your Archetype is technically Aristocrat.
Or if your family have a history of being cursed it could make sense to have the Handicap (lost faith) Feat.
Note that this feat doesn't have to be taken at character creation and with you at your Game Master's discretion it is acceptable to flesh out your background later in the game.
