D&D General Chef feat should be an origin feat

This is silly.

You think anyone that cares about optimizing is taking the crafting feat when they can take Lucky?

Most players don’t even optimize, and the ones that do, still do with the current origin feats.

Crafting feats really good with 5.5 crafting rules.

I dont think its quite sunk in yet that RAW you can once again craft the exact items your build requires.

That is vastly weaker than Lucky or Magic Initiate.

+6 or 9 spell DC or 2d6 per attack?

That's because RAW you can only craft what items the DM allows the materials to be available for, so you still require DM approval either way

It should totally be an Origin Feat. To be honest though, I don’t think there should be a distinction between Origin Feats and other Feats. If the only difference is that Origin Feats don’t give +1 to an ability score, just remove the ability score increase from all Feats, and say at ASI levels you get +1 to an ability score and a Feat.

Yeah. If you absolutely have to, you could even go for something like giving feats a score-boost prerequisite. "Some Feats have an associated ability score. For example, Resilient is associated with any single ability score, while Magic Initiate is associated with any one of the three mental ability scores, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. For feats with an associated ability score, in order to take that feat at any level after 1st level, you must choose to increase one associated ability score by 1 when taking that feat."

And then Lessons of the First Ones, since it specifies only Origin feats, would specify that you do not increase ability scores as a result of taking that invocation--or that you can only take feats which require 1st level or no level at all, and which you meet all other prerequisites for.
