Happy Halloween! Today's update contains a few changes in preparation for upcoming features, as well as a few small bug fixes.
Additions:
- The character builder will now enforce racial requirements of feats. Finally, you will only be able to select Svirfneblin Magic if your character is a Deep Gnome.
- Enabled pagination controls at the top of forums and private messages listings.
Bugs:
- Fixed an issue with the builder getting stuck when selecting the Hobgoblin's martial weapon proficiencies.
Notes:
With the addition of racial requirements of feats, the feat list will now be restricted to the feats that your character's race can know within feat selection in the builder. Your character's existing feat choices will not be affected. This update is primarily in preparation for Xanathar's Guide to Everything's new racial feats. These settings will also be available for the upcoming addition of homebrew feats.
When you change your character's race to one that cannot learn a feat you already know, you will be warned that you have a feat that is an invalid selection for that particular race. This will not delete the feat from you character, but only serves as a reminder.
November 9th approaches! Thanks for the clarification of the notes. I am excited!
Pagination at the top of forums. It's the simple things in life that are often the best :)
My Pagination is back at the top! All the staff can have a day off, this is amazing.
I thought it was the 21st?

*shrug* Tomato, tomahto. Early morning on the 10th. I appreciate the correction, though.
So I won't be able to choose racial feats for other races even if in my campaign those racial exclusions don't apply? I would much rather have warning text rather than a hard lockout. Please don't take away choice in customization!
You could recreate the feat in your personal homebrew, and then deselect this specific requirement.
