In recent books, it's been mentioned that you can include a feat at first level with your background. Some backgrounds just include feats and for others, you can select Tough or Skilled. I'm not seeing how to apply the feat in character builder unless you take a background like Planer Philosopher. Am I not seeing it?
The rule about including feats in background is pretty new (like a year ago now, I think) and so only new backgrounds get it. Old ones you have to do manually by giving yourself a feat.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
So in theory I could start with two feats, one from Costume Lineage/Variant Human and one from Background.
Yes that's correct, varient humans (or just humans in the 2024 rules) always get an extra feat at level 1 in addition to anything they get from backgrounds. It's why they've always been such a popular pick as a species

You need to do it from the character sheet. Go to the "features and traits" tab, scroll to the bottom, and there's a "manage feats" button.
