To make PCs more versatile. Now instead of ASI, they can get one feat one +1 bonus to any ability(not tied down to the specific feat), or get two feats.2. If anyone thinks that characters get to few feats, it's easier to give bonus "half feat" than bonus "full feat". Most obvious example is bonus feat at 1st level that is really missed.also if players aren't divers enough because they all aim for 20 in their primary ability(and sometimes in secondary also), you can now add bonus "half feat" at 5th,9th,13th and 17th level.3. Not all PCs, want all benefits of current feats, just some part of them.I.E. assassin rogue and SS. while cover negatning is usefull, and distance can have uses here and there, the "power shot" part is simply damaging to the average DPR of a rogue.So here is my list of feats with few added:All are half feats: so you can get two of them instead of ASI or 1 ability and 1 feat;Alert: cannot be surprised, hidden enemies do not have advantage vs you.added; Improved initiative: you gain +6 to initiative roll.Actor: same as PHB version, plus added proficiency in disguise kit.Charger: If you take Dash action and you move last 20ft in straight line towards an enemy, you can make one melee attack as a bonus action.
