Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gabriel Pendragon" data-source="post: 6779337" data-attributes="member: 6807093">Feats denote a specialized skill and come at the price of increasing stats. Which is something that takes a lot of time and practice. So instead of increasing general ability in a certain field, the character is specializing their skills in a very specific field.Feats are another way to make two characters different from each other. Without them many subclasses have no difference to them at all. Every champion can do the exact same thing as any other champion.Not liking feats seems to speak to a couple real reasons as to why: Not liking people doing something you can't do, not liking complexity, or not understanding the purpose for feats to be included.On the bright side only one race (varient) has to choose a feat. Everyone else can just take their 10 stat points, more for fighters, and go about their day. But I have to wonder, how many characters have 10 stat points that have a meaningful impact on their character given the 20 point maximum for stats? Of the characters i've built the only one that has any reason to increase more than 4 points from starting stats is an arcane trickster, and it tops out at 8.As many builds don't have any use for more than 4 stat points, grabbing feats gives meaningful choices for the other 3 stat increases.Feeling a certain way doesn't mean that is reality. Feats fit in very well with the rest of the game, as the game is all about customizing and personalizing your character and doing cool things with it in a fantasy world, doing amazing feats of awesome with a party of said characters. 5e isn't just about a block of stats, its about rewarding creative use of the living breathing person's we are playing with. Feats are just another means to further separating yourself from the pack. I like how everything has some purpose in 5e and any little quirk not only has a chance of coming up, but can come up more often than some one might think.</blockquote>
