D&D 5E Feat Balance: Healing Feats - EN World
Oct 30, 2016 · Feats aren't balanced. Not remotely. I love that feats are supposed to be balanced around a +2 ability score bonus. It gives us a good baseline for how good feats should be. Many miss this mark. I've been looking into healing in 5E. My DM style, having fewer, more challenging fights, has been requiring a lot of healing for my players' characters.
D&D 5E Downtime Training for Feats? - EN World
Feb 7, 2016 · Feats however seem far more linked to class abilities, armour & weapon proficiencies, spells, ability scores and similar direct measure of a character's combat proficiency. So yeah, if I gave players an extra feat, it would be with the acknowledgement I had permanently improved them, and I'd only do it for the whole party.
D&D 5E Feats AND Ability increases? - EN World
Jul 27, 2024 · Yes, but the OP did start with saying* they wanted more feats but didn't use them because they took ASI +2 instead. So a potential solution is to remove the +2 ASI and just use feats if you want to use more feats. The +2 ASI is not needed in 5e. *"I really miss feats. I hardly take them since I personally value ability increases more than most ...
D&D 3E/3.5 5E Feats Compared to 3E Feats - EN World
Oct 26, 2014 · I find 5E feats are mainly useful as a balancing tool - especially for 1st level humans when using the optional rule of two +1 Abilities, and extra Skill and Feat. A number of the Feats effectively just give an extra +1 bonus to an Ability score too, which means they balance out as a +2 and +1 (same as non humans, essentially).
Best feats for The Way of Kensei Monk? - EN World
Sep 29, 2017 · Extra ki(5e feats), Adds three more ki, seems good with the Kensei monk powers like Sharpen the blade or One with the blade. Drop 6 ki point to make your sword +6?! Seems good ;p There also is the Power Attack feat, in 5e feats, that gives you the -5 to hit +10 dmg, and reroll weapon damage dice when power attacking.
D&D 5E Xanathar's Racial Feats - EN World
Nov 15, 2017 · The 2 feats available to them don't feel up to par to be worth taking over an ability increase. One turns you breath weapon use into a fear effect while another gives you armor equivalent to the Draconic Sorcerous origin ability along with claws, and …
D&D 5E Best feats in Xanathar's Guide - EN World
Nov 23, 2017 · Dragon Fear: This is a big sloppy kiss to every dragonborn paladin out there. "+1 stat" feats in the stat where you get a +2 racial bonus are the bee's knees. If you're using point buy or standard array, you'll start with a 17 in that stat, which means you don't lose anything from taking the feat instead of an ASI; and you get the feat's ...
D&D 5E Feats for Monks - EN World
Jul 20, 2020 · In fact, most feats specify they apply only when attacking with weapons (and many require a specific type of weapons). So my next thought would be to look at feats which apply at least to attacks with monk weapons, and this assumes you do not go "full unarmed" (I think using a quarterstaff is most common until your martial arts damage reaches 1d8).
D&D 5E Feat for extra reactions? - EN World
Apr 1, 2020 · The character isn't 1st level, I'm deliberately not replicating the 18th level class feature in any of the feats I proposed here, the "current turn" wording doesn't do whatever you think it does, and my player and good friend isn't whining. But thank you for your input, it was very helpful otherwise.
D&D 5E Feats: Do you use them? Are they necessary? - EN World
May 12, 2015 · 1. Allow feats but treat each one individually as optional. Make decisions on a case by case basis. I wouldn't allow lucky at all or gwm/sharpshooter because of the -5/+10. Other feats depend on the goals of play. 2. Use point buy. Even without feats I would only use point buy in 5e. But with feats I believe it to be necessary.
