[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7083404, member: 57494"] Well, lets see what we can come up with. +1 crit range is not worth a feat. I'm positive it isn't even worth half a feat. +2 to a primary ability score is worth a feat. +2 Str is going to be +1 attack, +1 damage, +1 to str checks, +1 to str saves, and some carrying capacity boost. So, +1 attack and damage could arguably be "half a feat". +1 crit range isn't even worth +1 attack because a crit isn't a full x2 damage. With a 65% hit rate, and crits as x2 damage, you deal about 70% average damage. With crits at about x1.5 damage, it's more like 67.5%. So, if "Improved Critical" and "Superior Critical" came with a little something extra, that would be nice. But it would have to be simple. +1 hp per fighter level would be simple. That's half a feat (Toughness) right there. That's half of +2 to Con. And since +1 crit isn't quite worth +1 attack and damage, what if the champion got this at 3rd level: +1 hp per fighter level, +1 crit range, and +1 attack with weapon attacks. Would it be too tempting to poach? 3 level is a big dip. Back to Remarkable Athlete, Expertise is a solid ability and it gives double proficiency in 2 skills or tools. Remarkable Athlete applies to up to 4 skills and a host of miscelanious and tool Str, Dex, and Con checks. Oh, and you get a jump bonus. That might be big enough. What if they got to Dash as a bonus action? That's remarkably athletic. Monks and Rogues get that. [/QUOTE]
