Again, this is MUCH better than an unnoticeable damage increase.Elemental Adept ignores resistance which IS a noticeable damage increase.  Obviously MUCH better than an unnoticeable damage increase.Great Weapon Master is again a noticeable damage increase.Heavy Armor Master is a noticeable reduction in damage taken,  MUCH better than an unnoticeable damage increase.Keen Mind allows accurate recall of information, which is huge.Lucky is, well lucky.  MUCH better than an unnoticeable damage increase.And so on.  There's no reason that I would ever take an ASI unless part of my concept was being the strongest, smartest, etc. and I was doing it for character concept and not mechanics.</blockquote>
