Query: Raging intimidation granting a feat already given by the Background?

[The Only Sheet]

If I have Raging intimidation and that grants the Intimidating Glare feat for FREE, what happens if my Background (Warrior) is already gifting me with the Intimidating Glare feat?

Can I get a replacement feat, of it is just granted TWICE and ignored the 2nd time?

What is the official Ruling on such a situation?

Thanks for the clarification!!

It doesn't say that it gives you a replacement, so it doesn't.

It's just granted twice. Ask your GM for a replacement feat.

RAW, no, you don't.

RAI? Probably. Most other things that grant bonus feats or training tend to have a clause that lets you choose an alternate option if you already have the feat/training.

That's just smart design. It's rather poor to punish someone for already having something because they're going for a specific theme.

It doesn't give a replacement feat. Take a different 1st level Barbarian feat instead of wasting on something you already have? Or take a different background?

Better off taking a different background, because raging intimidation also gives demoralize and scare to death the rage trait so you can use it while raging, and it gives you the scare to death feat when you meet the prerequisites for it.

Honestly even if you already have intimidating glare, the feat is still worth it just on the strength of letting you demoralize while raging and giving you scare to death for free later on.

Take Martial Disciple background instead...
