Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 7085654" data-attributes="member: 20564">What if 5e had more feats, but not as powerful?This is a combination of several things.  The recent UA with all of the new half feats made me realize that having half-feats that didn't give me the +1 ability I wanted (either already maxed or just not what I want now) was less than satisfying for a precious feat slot.  But I wouldn't mind lesser feats if I had more slots.Add in the work of others like [MENTION=6780961]Yunru[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6801299]Horwath[/MENTION] here to convert the existing feats to half feats.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?512166-Half-Feat-Conversion-PHB" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?512166-Half-Feat-Conversion-PHB</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?509331-Homebrew-feats-Turning-all-feats-into-quot-half-feat-quot-category" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?509331-Homebrew-feats-Turning-all-feats-into-quot-half-feat-quot-category</a>(Not that these don't have specific ability scores added to them.  Just to keep in-line with the standard form and be compatible with new sources like the UA skill feats article, they would each need to have a +1 to a specific ability score part added - though that would be ignored much of the time so it's not a big deal.)And lastly, and sort of leastly but not unimportant, my biggest complaint about multiclassing is how easy it is to accidentally make a bad character by missing ASIs and power cut-offs.So, let's have more feat slots.  The parts come together rather simply.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">All feats converted to half feats.  In the threads above, power of feats that weren't already half-feats has been roughly halved, though some of the weaker ones were brought to half-standard. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">At class levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 19 when you normally get an ASI, you instead get +1 to an ability score or a half-feat without the ability score boost. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Any other class levels that would grant an ASI grant a full +2 or feat (including it's ability score boost). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">At character levels 2,6,10,14,18 you gain a choice of either a +1 to an ability score or a half-feat without it's ability score boost. </li> </ol>(Variant human I leave for the DM to choose if they get a full feat or a feat-without-ability-boost.  I personally would go for the latter but I don't want to derail the thread if debate breaks out.)The results are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Doubles the number of ASI/feats while cutting their power in about half, for about the same progression. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Classes that gain extra ASI/feats gain the full advantage instead of being nerfed. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Multiclass can still fall behind if they don't pay attention, but it's harder to accidentally screw up too bad. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Increased customization.  First feat at 2nd level to start customizing your character a bit earlier.  More choices to either go for a defining feat or a ability score boost. </li> </ul>So, what do you think?  Does it meet the goals?  How to improve it?  Would you play it?  Would you run with it?</blockquote>
