Really? Not in my practice. Though, clearly YMMV. But definitely YMINS (Your Mileage Is Not Standard). I find fighters to be ahead of the curve, if anything. At least at my tables. Given your other recent thread here, I've come to believe you have an observable tendency to find whatever newly...

But that wasn't what you said. You didn't say, "compared to another feat that apply a bonus to saves". You said "way better". Always. So "way better" how? In what context? How often does the aura need to impact play to qualify as "way better"? Because there are feats that, arguably, can have an...

Ooo! I love haiku... If the fighter sucks, Maybe it isn't 5e? It could just be you.

Is that a universally true statement? Are you certain?

Played a fighter recently, just finishing a campaign at 14th level. Every single time, I took a feat (that would be 5 times for those keeping score at home). Never once chose the ASI option. Which gave me a lot of control over the amount of "utility" I desired. As for "agency" and "identity", I...

Proper application of a wish spell or two ought to be able to accomplish darn near anything.

Whoa there. You may wanna go ahead and roll back for a sec, Tex. Maybe take a look at the context, to which Hussar was speaking, before gettin' all uppity such as you are. Or are you intentionally working to move the goalpost? If so, nevermind then. By all means proceed with caution.

Well, to borrow a turn of phrase from someone you are familiar with... "A few of us have complained about something" != There's a problem.

I think the joke was intending to play off of the alternate definition of "good", actually...

I was responding primarily as extension of my point that Medium Armor Master, with a 16 Dex, would be a viable route. Dex primary with S&B. Solid combo.

The point, if I may, seems to be that there is no DC inflation while simultaneously expertise has been in existence the entire time. Countless characters, benefiting from expertise for years, against those consistently static DCs. Where are all the complaints and problems with expertise braking 5e?

Do you and your party generally make it through the average adventuring day? If so, and doing damage is one of your responsibilities, you're doing "good enough" damage, IMO. In most cases, I think that's all that really matters.

Found your problem right there.

True. But, you can effectively S&B with Dex primary, rather than Strength. Some would argue the pros exceed the cons even.

Yep. Really. Until you respond to my previous post regarding this hypothetical example, the example you brought to the discussion, I don't see how I can keep up with you on it. Because you aren't giving enough information with which to base an opinion. It's hard to take serious the opinion...

Like Medium Armor Master with a 16 Dex?

Sure it is. Good thing no one is advocating such behavior. Absolutely right. Again, good thing no one is advocating such behavior. You'd think with all that talk of fire, those strawmen would burn down quickly. Yet here they still are!

I said I find it interesting. But to answer your questions: By his own description, Oofta appears to play in a somewhat adversarial playstyle group. Or, maybe, passive-aggressive could be a more accurate description. Where there looms this threat of some of the players causing a stink should...

I find this interesting given that you earlier implied it was I who was speaking from an adversarial playstyle role...

The core bugaboo, IMO. Agreed. I've also prefaced my opinion of these playtest feats with the caveat that my hope is the final product avoids locking away mundane skill uses. In the similar vein of anyone being able to attempt disarming a foe (the DMG offers suggestions) even while the...
