Class Feature Option

Required Feature

This field can be used to select an existing class feature. The homebrew feature option will then only be available if the required feature is selected by a character.

For example, for the Soldier class the alternate class feature Feat Boosts grants additional options for the Gear Boost class feature. The Feat Boosts themselves are options on the Gear Boost class feature that require the Feat Boosts feature. These options will be hidden unless Feat Boosts has been selected.

Auto-Acquired

If enabled, this will automatically add the homebrew option to the character at the appropriate level without requiring an explicit selection.

As an example, the Stellar Revelation class feature for the Solarian class has two options - Supernova and Black Hole - which are automatically acquired at level 1.

Effects

A Class Feature Option can have a list of effects, each occurring at a different level.

Consider the Operative's Specialization class feature. Each individual Specialization (e.g. Daredevil, Detective, Ghost etc.) is a Class Feature Option in Hephaistos. The Specialization Exploit, Specialization Skill Mastery and Specialization Power provided by each Specialization are "effects" that become relevant at levels 5, 7 and 11, respectively.
