Yeah, I think that is the way we are going.

Just to clarify that means we get 1 starting feat ?

Yes, please explain to make sure we're all on the same page.    Is this a free at 1st level we can spend on anything including, if I wish, one of those Theros Heroic Feats?

Intelligence – A high intelligence allows you to begin with extra proficiencies.  For every point of Int Bonus you start with you can select an additional language or tool proficiency.  If you have at least two points of Int Bonus you can spend two proficiencies to gain an additional intelligence based skill.

So is it one or the other or both?  Currently I have a Int 15 (+2).  Do I get 2 languages or tool Proficiencies AND a bonus Int Skill?  Or do I need to pick one option or the other?

Everyone gets a free starting feat.  Marvel, as a character from Theros, is compelled to have that feat flavored as a god-granted Heroic Feat.  This can take the form of either one of the custom Gifts or a themed standard feat.  Non-Mythic Odysseys characters can select a feat from any other source.  Mythic Odysseys gifts (particularly any reliant on piety) may be unreliable if access to Theros deities is disrupted.

On the INT thing, assume that a given character has a +3 INT Bonus.  This means that character may take up to 3 additional languages or tool proficiencies.  Alternately they may spend two of those points for a INT based skill instead, which would allow them to take 1 additional language or tool proficiencies.  So this character could gain proficiency in a musical instrument as well as Dohwar and Primordial as languages.  Alternatively they could take a skill in Investigation and still pick up a proficiency in Weaver's tools.

With a +2 bonus it is a choice between either two languages/proficiencies or an Int skill, not both.
