I see this potentially helping any PC really unless you had both even scores, in which case (for now) the +1's won't help because neither would bump your modifier. shrugNot really. If you see those feats as being too strong, it is easier to nerf those to a more common level with all the other feats. Because this "fix" to Athlete is only elevating the problem.However, IME, none of those feats (SS/GWM/PAM/XBE/Lucky) get taken often. Heck, we see Alert, Dual Wielder, Healer, HAM, Magic Initiate, MAM, Observant, Resilient, Sentinel, Shield Master, Spell Sniper, and War Caster ALL taken more often than SS, GWM, PAM, XBE, or Lucky. I would guess our most commonly taken feats are Alert, Observant, Resilient, and War Caster.While I agree Athlete is lack-luster, several simpler and more balanced fixes would make it more enticing IMO. I mean, after all, with the +1 to STR or DEX, the other features aren't supposed to be crazy good. Giving +1 to two scores and a bunch of extra stuff would makes it overkill.</blockquote>
