[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8790687, member: 7006"] One thing I noticed that makes another feat not good is [B]Actor[/B]. Actor gives you two functionalities (beyond the stat bump that all feats give): [LIST] [*]Advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks when disguised as someone else [*]Voice and sound mimicry [/LIST] Here's the issue though... by the new rules of Tool Proficiency, anyone who is proficient in both Disguise Kit and Performance would be gaining Advantage on their checks to impersonate someone already. Which means that this feat is breaking that rule that Jeremy was talking in the first packet's release about wanting feats that make someone who already does something... make them even better at it (as opposed to the feat being superfluous). In this particular case though... half the Actor feat is superfluous for a character who already was designed to be an actor. I think this feat needs a different or additional ability beyond the Advantage on Performance checks, because that ability just duplicates what an "actor" PC would already have taken from their Tool and Skill choice.
