Skilled is one that feels like it should be improved via something like pick two skills, a tool or language and improve one attribute.
FWIW, I am not trying to change what a feat can do precisely, just adding an ASI to the ones that might need it.Skilled is one that feels like it should be improved via something like pick two skills, a tool or language and improve one attribute.
agree with most, but some addition:FWIW, I am not trying to change what a feat can do precisely, just adding an ASI to the ones that might need it.
Here's my first draft at it:
Summary:
This is more or less a worse variant of sharpshooter,Spell Sniper - NO ASI
these two feats are simply bad as full feats and while giving +1 ASI to Prodigy would put it over Skill expert from tasha, just how much broken would be extra too and language be? This feat after Tasha's just needs to be removed or really buffed:Bountiful Luck - NO ASI
Prodigy - NO ASI
Ok. I read moderately armored (UA) and thought it was a joke.Definitely Medium Armor Master.
Yes, spellsniper is worse than sharpshooter, but the goal (for me) isn't to try to make all the feats "equal" but to give ASIs to the ones that actually need them. IMO, spellsniper doesn't. I think most people would agree sharpshooter is one of the most powerful and useful feats for ranged weapon attackers.This is more or less a worse variant of sharpshooter,
range is only doubled on spells while on ranged weapons is mostly 4x further and on few weapons only 3x increase.
Cover ignoring stays the same.
The range boost is a bit better for spellsniper when if you consider that without it, attacking beyond the "normal range" for the spell is impossible!. There is no, "Yes, you can cast firebolt at 180 feet but with disadvantage." You just can't do it, period. With spellsniper, not only is it possible, but you don't have disadvantage.So is one extra cantrip, when you have 3 or 4 of them with less range boost worth the -5/+10 mechanic?
Skill Expert never should have been released as it was, it makes Prodigy a non-issue choice. Who would exchange an ASI for a tool and language proficiency? Very few IMO.these two feats are simply bad as full feats and while giving +1 ASI to Prodigy would put it over Skill expert from tasha, just how much broken would be extra too and language be? This feat after Tasha's just needs to be removed or really buffed:
like 2skills, 2 tools, 2 languages and 1 expertise.
I see this as a "critical feat" IMO for those who take it. While natural 1's are (thankfully) rare, having near infinite uses when you want them is strong. But, like spellsniper, if you give this a +1 DEX, it is too useful for most halflings not to take it in many cases IMO. Perhaps CHA +1 or CON +1 would be ok IMO. Both of those have fewer feats that grant ASIs.Bountiful luck? I would not take that even with +1 ASI.
it happens in 1/20 of the rolls, cost your reaction, cost you your racial trait for a round, yeah there wont be lot's of rolls of 1 in a single round, and has only 30ft range.
this needs +1 ASI and something else extra to be considered a good feat.
Charger - ???
Crossbow Expert - ???
Defensive Duelist - ???
Mage Slayer - ???
Metamagic Adept - ???
My question was more about which ASI would you put? Sorry for the confusion.In my 1st post I said that I would put ASI on:
Defensive duelist
Mage slayer
Metamagic adept.
Oh, I didn't mean to deny your thread-premise! It's just a problem that's likely to be solved.Sure. We are playing 5E now, and there are some feats my players have been talking about as not quite strong enough to not have an ASI.
Sure, everyone has their own thing. My only question would be - if you're looking for a specific thing (such as rebalanced feats) and the new books have what you're looking for (let's, for the purposes of this question, assume that the feats WILL be rebalanced in a satisfying way - which obviously we have no way ATM to know that they will or won't be), then, why wouldn't you use the "new" versions?Also, I have absolutely no intention of bothering with any 2024 material. Just because it is coming out doesn't mean everyone under the Sun is excited about it, the changes, or planning on using it.
I guess that I meant more "the exercise" of rebalancing feats with ASIs - I certainly didn't mean that this thread ought to be about guessing what will come in the future - that's not what I meant. My use of the word "speculation" was more about speculating on what COULD be, not speculating on what WILL be, if that makes sense.Finally, it isn't about speculation. There's nothing to speculate about,
Sure, I'll play.it is simply a question about 5E (2014!): which feats are basically weak enough that they should have an ASI when the don't?

"Solved" is debatable. 2024 will cause more problems (for me) than it will fix.Oh, I didn't mean to deny your thread-premise! It's just a problem that's likely to be solved.
Because I already have the books I need for 2014, and some simple feat adjustments is more cost effective than supporting WotC.Sure, everyone has their own thing.

Bring it on!Sure, I'll play.
For this "exercise", I won't be changing any feats other than possibly adding an ASI.I agree - and I think that Charger and Crossbow Expert don't need them. Charger might need - something - but not an ASI. CE is fine as-is, IMO.
I could see those.Defensive Duelist would be DEC/INT
Mage Slayer would be INT/CON
Metmagic would be INT/CHA
No right or wrong, just opinions. These are as good as any others--including mine.IMO, and happy to be wrong.
