Back to Homebrew -> Feats. Vile Feat: Vile feats are available only to creatures of the evil or chaotic evil alignment with an intelligence score of 3 or more. When you take a vile feat, you must make a vow (as stated in the feat's description). If you break this vow, you lose the benefits of the feat until you perform the vow of penance ritual (see below). When you take a vile feat, you automatically learn the vow of penance ritual, even if you cannot learn and perform rituals.
