[QUOTE="Gammadoodler, post: 9290280, member: 6914290"] In my experience, parties take a portfolio approach to skill coverage, since they typically will only need one person to be good enough at a skill in a given moment. This is different from combat, where everyone needs to be contributing something during the encounter. Players only have 4-7 opportunities to take a feat over the course of an adventuring career (and a 2-3 of those happen at levels most people will never get to play). I've never seen nor heard of a player who has actually taken the Skilled feat, either in games I've participated in or watched on stream. Many of the 5e guides on this site and elsewhere recommend against it, or at least rate it as having very low value. Is this something you've seen players take often? Do you think an even more generalized numerically weaker version would have any more value? More importantly, do you it would be harmful for all classes to get such a feat automatically say in tiers at 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 13th level (or something)? [/QUOTE]
