===Path Feats===
 
These are special feats geared towards a particular paragon path and give limited abilities similar to those of paragon path available in the heroic tier. You can only take one path feat. If you have a path feat and take a paragon path that gives the same ability, you can automatically retrain your path feat, it does not count as your retraining option for that level. You can still choose to take another paragon path and keep the path feat, this is similar to multi-classing, but for paragon paths.

Path Feats

These are special feats geared towards a particular paragon path and give limited abilities similar to those of paragon path available in the heroic tier. You can only take one path feat. If you have a path feat and take a paragon path that gives the same ability, you can automatically retrain your path feat, it does not count as your retraining option for that level. You can still choose to take another paragon path and keep the path feat, this is similar to multi-classing, but for paragon paths.
