[QUOTE="Headbomb, post: 7137935, member: 6797480"] And yes it's been a while since I've posted! I return, because I may be resuming playing 5th edition (took a hiatus), and that feat limitation thing always bugged me. Human fighters have a theoretical maximum of 8 feats, and while it's fairly unlikely that all 8 feats will be used, you can easily exceed the 4 present on the sheet (possibly 5 for those using A4, I can't remember). But I had an idea, two in fact, and I think it's a pretty good one. One is the simple option, the other one, is more complicated. First, the simple option. Simple option: Condensed the feat section, move descriptions of feats to "notes" E.g., on page 2, display [HTML] Feat: [War Caster] (PHB page 170) [Button] Feat: [Medium Armor Master] (PHB page 168) [Button] Feat: [Shield Master] (PHB page 170) [Button] Feat: [Skilled] (PHB page 170) [Button] Feat: [Crossbow Expert] (PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Tough] (PHB page 173) [Button] Feat: [Observant] (PHB page 174) [Button] Feat: [Lucky] (PHB page 172) [Button] [/HTML] Which would would contain all the code for feats, give all the bonus etc... It just wouldn't give the complete descriptions. Those would instead be put in the "Notes" section. Complicated option. Basically a hybrid of the above suggestion and the current version. Keep the first 3 feat slots as they are, but convert the last one into a "condensed" option. [HTML] Feat: [War Caster] (PHB page 170) [Button] Advantage on Con saves to maintain concentration... blah blah Feat: [Medium Armor Master] (PHB page 168) [Button] Wearing medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage... blah blah Feat: [Shield Master] (PHB page 170) [Button] As a bonus action, when I use the Attack action... blah blah Feat: [Skilled] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Crossbow Expert] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Tough] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Observant] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Lucky] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] [/HTML] Then, if I switched the Crossbow Expert / Medium Armor Master feat, I would get [HTML] Feat: [War Caster] (PHB page 170) [Button] Advantage on Con saves to maintain concentration... blah blah Feat: [Crossbow Expert] (PHB page 171) [Button] I ignore the loading quality of crossbows... blah blah Feat: [Shield Master] (PHB page 170) [Button] As a bonus action, when I use the Attack action... blah blah Feat: [Skilled] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Medium Armor Master] (See Notes / PHB page 168) [Button] Feat: [Tough] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Observant] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] Feat: [Lucky] (See Notes / PHB page 171) [Button] [/HTML] And the notes section would be updated accordingly. Basically, this would let people put keep the descriptions of the most commonly used / most complicated feats on page 2 [e.g. War Caster, Shield Master, Crossbow Expert, etc...], and move the descriptions of lesser used/simpler feats [Alert, Lucky, Resilient, Keen Mind, Tough etc... ] on page 3.
