Okay let me start with the obvious: the “treats” you can make are complete fucking trash. How the mighty Gourmand and the “mighty” Song of Rest have fallen. It’s a very fun feat for roleplay and has good utility, but I don’t think anyone’s going to be begging to get this feat. Ultimately this feature of the feat would work better if there were more Intelligence casters in 5e. It’s good if you’re playing an Artificer / Wizard multiclass but Artificers can already cast spells through their infusions. Other than that the ability to cast spells with tools is nice but ultimately pointless. These spells are fairly independent of their spellcasting modifier so getting both of them as a Wizard, Sorcerer, or even Warlock can be good in a pinch. This means that Artificer Initiate is a very easy way for just about any spellcaster to get access to Bless and Cure Wounds / Healing Word. The main strength of this feat by far is that the spells are added to your spell list. With that in mind we got an Unearthed Arcana for Feats, and since I want to do more on this Tumblr than just make League of Legends builds I figured I’d throw my thoughts out into the wind. They shouldn’t be the “best” choice but rather they should be inherently optional for those who want the power boost they provide. (Lucky.) I think that Feats should remain as options for players who want to build a specific build. ( NOT ATHLETE, but feats like Linguist, Resilient, and the racial feats from Xanathar’s)įor the most part feats do accomplish these two concepts well but there are some feats that are laughably weak (Keen Mind, Weapon Master) while others are way too good.

(Half Feats) Provide a nice bonus to reward you for slower progression, or for having an uneven ability score to increase.(Feats like Crossbow Expert, Great Weapon Master, Warcaster, etc.) Offer new unique abilities that provide a large boost to your character’s capabilities so that taking them is worth sacrificing an ASI.I feel like in order to compete with ASIs in 5e a Feat needs to do one of two things: I’m honestly a big fan of feats but I do think that ASIs are a little too strong by comparison in 5e. I can’t make builds right now so let’s talk about Feats.

Fiendish vigor 5e
