[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6349040, member: 58197"] You can't judge the quality of a feat in a vacuum. A feat is only "terrible" if there are other options available that are better. 3.5 and 4E feats are irrelevant; you don't get to take them in 5E. All that matters is what's on the 5E feat list. If you have one odd-numbered stat, and you would normally be willing to spend a stat boost improving it, you can take a half stat feat instead and come out ahead. You missed a crucial clause in the feat text, at the very end: "(minimum of 2)." With the feat, your minimum hit points healed are 2, no matter what your Con modifier. [I]Without[/I] it, the minimum is zero. As a matter of fact, in the extreme case that you're playing a wizard with Con 3, taking Durable instead of +2 Con will increase your hit point recovery by a factor of 4. (Though if you're playing a Con 3 wizard, you don't really care about hit point recovery--if you ever lose hit points at all, you're probably dead.) [/QUOTE]
