Free Past Life Feat questions

[Gabe the Destroyer]

Can someone explain how the free past life feats work. The wiki says they can be stacked up to 3 times and that you can have multiple ones. Does that mean if you play through all the classes, you get free past life feats of every class, or do you only get past life feats of your first class and the last one you TRed from? Any clarification would be much appreciated.

Yes.

Basically ^ that. You run through once, TR, then create your character; afterwards, if you manage to make it back to the TR requirements again (due to the XP increase that probably still exists {it's been 8 months since I last logged in, much less seriously played} it's harder, but you get more beginning stat points in return, plus you keep all your loot in a remove-only bank tab) and TR again, you get both feats. This repeats until you either get bored or manage to unlock Completionist, in which case you've literally won DDO.

You get a free (also known as "passive") past life feat every time you TR, stacking up to 3 per class. Since there are 14 classes, you can stack a total of 3 x 14 if you really feel like starting that grind at this point in history. You never lose them.

Each time you TR, your "past life" gives you a passive feat, which you can stack up to 3x and an active feat that does not stack and that you would need to choose in a General Feat slot as you level. Most of the active feats aren't worth the slot.

There are also Epic Past Life feats which you get for Epic True Reincarnating in each Destiny Sphere (if you have Epic Destinies unlocked). Each EPL feat has a passive and a stance component. You can also stack them 3x each but automatically get access to both components... however, you can only be in one EPL stance at a time.

Finally, there are Iconic Past Life feats that require that you run an Iconic class to L30 (usually the EPL level) and then Iconic True Reincarnate. They act like EPL feats.

Each Pastlife gives you passive bonuses for free, which are stacking 3 times. Means if u have for example 3 Warrior pastlifes u will get +3 base attack bonus with every pastlife after them, additionally u can take a Feat then which will give u a Bonus to Combatskills like Trip and so on. With 1 Pastlife of every Class u will gain the "Completionist" Bonus which u have to take as Feat on lvl 3 wich will give you +1 to every stat.

Fighter passive past life feat gives BOTH a +1 attack bonus AND a +1 to tactics DCs per fighter past life (up to 3x, i.e. up to +3 to hit and +3 to DC's for Trip, Stun, etc.).

Also, while it may be quibbling... I'm pretty sure Fighter passive past life feat gives a to-hit bonus, NOT a BAB bonus (It's certainly listed that way on DDOwiki). If it were a permanent BAB bonus, it should allow you to take feats with BAB prerequisites at lower levels on succeeding lives, which it doesn't.

The active feat gives other bonuses (which you can find on the links I posted above).

but you get more beginning stat points in return

That's a little misleading; after your first TR, you get 34 (30 for drow) points to buy your stats with, and 36 (32 for drow) after your second, but that's where it stops.
