D&D 5E Does your group use feats?

[Zardnaar]

Pretty much always.

Needs giant radioactive monkey option.

 

[Bacon Bits]

They're always available, but pretty much nobody takes them until they've got a 20 in their prime requisite.

Variant humans are rare because, unless I'm DMing, darkvision doesn't have a perception penalty in total darkness.

 

[ad_hoc]

We use them minus GWM and SS.

 

[Sacrosanct]

Yeah, for purposes of this poll, I was only looking for if your group makes them available in general. When you start drilling down into when they are used vs ASI, or which ones are shunned, that’s a whole other can of worms lol.

 

[5ekyu]

Yes

 

[Leatherhead]

Yes.

But I ban Variant Humans because some feats don't really work so well at level 1.

 

[StormbringerAUS]

I always allow them as a DM some of my players use them often some not so much, as a player I have used them with every character I have made.

It helps bring character concepts to a better completion.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

Always.

I suspect that most groups of people who enjoy going online to engage with the hobby conversationally also enjoy the system tinkering that more complex options entail, so I’d bet money that this same poll will get similar results in nearly any forum dedicated to TTRPGS.

When I even considered having a game that didn't use feats, some of my players were pretty upset about the idea. I think the fact that a lot of them really prefer classless games is part of it; they want every bit of customization they can get.

Personally I’d probably sooner rule only Feats at ASI levels than no Feats. +2 in your primary ability score is a very strong boost, and also pretty boring, which is a bad combination in my opinion.
