Cleric, Fighters (Intimidation is pretty standard fare), and Rogues all benefit from CHA if you want them to, and easily do so. You don't have to be just a CHA-based caster to benefit from it.Besides, it was supposed to also be CON, but forgot to add it this morning (my fault for posting quickly before I rushed off to work...). Adding CON (which I meant to) makes it viable for everyone else really. I've updated the prior post.Not everything needs to be a min/max decision. In fact, it is better if they aren't IMO.Why would STR make sense? It is your reaction and quickness to intercept the attack with your own weapon. I might see an arguement for STR as well as DEX or INT, but certainly not to the exclusion of the others.As it is with my current renditions, STR has 22 feats, DEX 23. Pretty even already. But, if you feel exclusion of STR would hamper STR-based martials, adding it wouldn't be a major issue.Not if the point is to gain an understanding of your enemy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Since spellcasters use INT, WIS, or CHA, boosting those makes more sense IMO and can easily help martials anyway. I mean, honestly, if DEX is the physical god stat, WIS is the mental one...It is intended for anyone who wants metamagic and IME the feat is already strong. Eldritch Adept got CHA also for the same reason. Sorcerers and Warlock might take these feats to boost their class features, but I can't see that happening as much as them wanting other feats which aren't as redundent for them.Again, not changing any feats for this discussion, just adding ASIs or not. For Charger I am going with STR for now I think.I'm fine with Crossbow Expert not having an ASI. I never thought of it as strong, frankly, and have never seen a player take it yet... in fact, most people IME consider it weak and/or lame in general. But, I know a lot of people here seem to think it is.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> Yeah, this one still bugs me. I'm inclined to just let them both stand as is. Prodigy offers a nice blend (skill, language, and tool), unlike Linguist (all languages) or Skilled (all skills), along with an expertise. If you want that blend, it is better than Skill Expert, but otherwise Skill Expert would be better.Sigh... I don't know about these two...</blockquote>
