[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7713643, member: 20564"] Grapple-barbarian for the win! They could already get advantage on STR checks and have Extra Attack for multiple attempts, but they couldn't get expertise in Athletics without multiclassing. Now they can. Brawny specifies one size category larger. That seems like it will stack with things like goliath to allow them to carry moderately sized buildings. Diplomat - non-magical "subtle" charm. And not broken if you start fighting it's allies (or it) later. Performer - hey, look, now DMs will say you can't use your performance skill to distract people without a feat. Several of these overlap class abilities, so the class most likely to want to boost their skill gets less out of these feats then others. Oooh, a silver tongued hexblade using two weapons. Give up the no-bonus-to-damage offhand attack to sweet-talk them with your very high Charisma vs. their probably +0 Wis (Insight), then get advantage on you actual attacks (and no opportunity attacks). Though it does make your on-hand a d6 shortsword instead of a d8, since they need to be light. Might be fun for a crit-seeking champion fighter once you have 3 or more attacks - with expertise you don't even need charisma against foes if they don't have wisdom as a trained skill. At 12th you'd have 3 attacks, 4 ASIs, and +8 to deception before any Chr, going up to +10 next level. [/QUOTE]
