D&D 5E Krynn's Free Feats: setting-specific or the future of the game?

[GMforPowergamers]

Heck, pull a 3.0/3.5 and

I just realized these feats come even to multi class characters...

base 5e a fighter 2 rogue 3 has 0 feats
in DL (and maybe in updated rules) a fighter 2 rogue 3 has 2 feats from background

5E is the everyone starts as a superhero edition, so of course it’s going to be free feats all around. And with feat chains returning, they need PCs with more than 5 after 20 levels.

I suggested that they'll be setting specific, but in every setting. Strixhaven added magic; Ravenloft added curses; Theros added heroics; Dragonlance adds soldiering and survivors.
Every setting should have this as flavor.

This is true. Which is why I like the idea of a Paladin/Warlock(Hexblade) multiclass having the Squire of Solamnia feat or the Mage/Adept Krynn feats as well.

How does the background grant 2?

yeah cause that fighter with 13hp and a +4 to hit for 1d8+2 damage is totally superman...

anyway, the feat chains if they limit them to most being 2 long and only 1 or 2 being 3 long (none 4+) then even giving 2 for background and 5 from levels lets you take 2 ABI and still have 2 chains and 1 stand alone

yes, a hexblade 3 Paladin 2 can have 2 feats (giving Supiriority dice and manuvers to stack with smites)

1 at 1st and 1 at 4th as per the new UA

4th as per the new UA

The feat at 4th is for level and has no relationship to the background you selected

 

[GMforPowergamers]

The feat at 4th is for level and has no relationship to the background you selected

it comes with it... hence why it is in the background section.

You get 1 at 1st and 1 at 4th.
