Nor am I. Good. True! And the 2014 PHB had feats like that. Good thing that's not what this thread is discussing! True, if by "currently" you re referrning to the 2014 PHB. What about the playtest feats, though, which are the only insight we have about the 2024 PHB? Are there still only a...

No, these are not the questions. Based on what we've seen feats will be available to some martial characters without the option of +2 ASI, and every character will get a starting feat without the option of a +2 ASI. Of course that could change, but this framing misses everything that has been...

As to the OP: for me, the Prize is becoming truly part of the world, not existing separate, apart, and above it. As others have said, becoming part of the world brings with it knowledge and undertanding, the ability to procreate, and the ability to achieve a natural death. But all of this...

Kobold Stew's quick guide to Highlander. Highlander. Excellent movie with an amazing original modern mythology that has never been topped. Lightning strikes. 5/5 Highlander II. Curiously, this movie was never made, and there are no records of it, or of its director's cut to be found. 0/5...

"It's agreed," says Tommi, looking at Titus. "We clear it out. Onward." He continues heading down the swarming tunnel.

The Colonel doesn't mind the young ogre summoning more. With their position, they're in good shape, and the Skyfather is with them in the open air. Besides, from where they are, retreat is always possible if they are overwhelmed. So no worries there. He catches himself -- he'd said Skyfather...

Great if so.

For what it's worth, here is a proposed fix to the feat Fighting Initiate, as it appears in Tasha's. Current wording allows you to chose a fighting style, from those available to fighters. My proposal: 1. Keep it as written, but make it a level 4 feat and allow a +1 ASI to STR, DEX, or CON...

I count 42 in the PHB, plus 15 in Tasha's, and 15 racial feats in Xanathar's. There might be more in some of the other books, I don't know. So that's 72. Plus, to compare Apples to Apples, we should include the not-really-a-feats-that-we're-now-calling-feats: the ASI, the six PHB fighting...

I'm not sure why you think this is the case. Perhaps you haven't read the OP? At level 1 (i.e. what you refer to with "creating a new character", "assistance to go through character creation", "session 0 slog"), there are 10 options we've seen in the playtest materials, 5 possible inclusions...

All of these are old problems, right? We've seen what they intend to do with feats in playtest, and had the opportunity to give feedback. None of this is new with the information that we now have a hard number. We can agree that some people won't like the implementation, or think it's not...

I am aware; I just disagree.

The promise of 75 feats announced in the Gameinformer Magazine feature sounds promising, but I'm not sure it actually represents a big step forward. Let's tally what we've seen. (In some ways this is an update of the survey I did on feats post-Playtest 7, last September.) Level 1 Feats: 10...

The inclusion of Aasimar leaves me hoping that there will be some non-innately spellcasting species from MotM included as well.

Tommi hears the swarm of rats, but his vision is obscured by his allies. No one is moving, and he doesn't want to hit anyone with a stone. But Gutter is thirsty. He pushes himself towards the shrieking rats, oblivious to all danger, and stabs the swarm, before backing away. Move 25' to Q41...

So many fun ideas here. I can think of specific characters for whom each of the following would have been great payoffs.

"How to make a Warlord in 18e." "How to fix the 18e Monk." "Flanking in 18e: how 15e did it better."

Seeing her arrow hit the hag, and sink into her as if it were a pin in a pincushion makes Miss Imogen's heart sink. Why had they undertaken this fight? She was ill-equipped, low on arrows, and unable to help. Or was she? Miss Imogen shivered, and knew how little moisture there was down here...

The nice thing about this approach is that the class feats/invocations need not be class-specific. Like, sure, they could be, but they don't need to be, and if someone wants to get a lockpicking knack or a raise dead knack even if they aren't a burglar or necromancer, that's cool. Invocations...

Might it be productive to see these as two independent dials, rather than just narrowing a single dial? For me: Pact determines they way you are approaching a problem. Specifically, in combat, but it need not be that. Your pact choice will govern the sorts of things you want to be able to do...
