The closest matches for O5E (2014) feats in the core A5E system's Adventurer's Guide.

IIRC there are definitely Great weapon Master and sharpshooter equivalents.

I want to say powerful attacker is the name of the a5e version of GWM?

O5E Great Weapon Master -> A5E Powerful Attacker
O5E Sharp Shooter -> A5E Deadeye

Toan Li · Monday at 11:38 PM

Also O5E Charger -> A5E Bull Rush

Appreciate the help!

If you really want to pair every PHB feat...
O5E Martial Adept -> A5E Martial Scholar
Learn two maneuvers and gain the resource to use them (1 Super Die vs. 3 Exertion)
Even without checking that all Battle Master maneuvers are available, it's still the closest we're gonna get.

I think your reply is close enough on this one

On a general note regarding 5E feats, I think the 5.5E feats are better balanced and more consistent. The A5E feats were designed in the 5E context, so many of them lack the +1 ability point that was added in 5.5E. As an example of this, the A5E Battle Caster feat and the 5E War Caster feat are on the weak side as a feat in my opinion, and weaker than the 5.5E War Caster version.

I understand that feats are valuable, as are ASIs, but to say that 5e War Caster is on the weak side as a feat suggests that some casters aren't getting hit enough while they had concentration spells active

5.5e just added stat bonuses to ?all?most? feats, so yeah they're going to be better filled out and less niche, since at the least you're getting a valuable stat boost on top of the actual feat features.
