Nebulous
Legend
I used to do this some in 3e, but for some reason I haven't thought of doing it in 5e. I guess because the rather bland character advancement is definitely spiced up by feats.
But I was thinking today that the array of feats is so wide, and generally uneven, with broken feats on one end, and useless feats on the other that no one ever picks, with most of the good feats generally clustered in the middle, how would work if feats were removed and replaced piecemeal by the DM as magic items? Has anyone else tried this much in 5e? You still get your 4th level +2 boost, but then that sword you find, it's not a sword +1, it's a sword with the Mage Slayer feat. And that bubbly potion is a potion of Lucky feat. And that's a quiver of enchanted elven Sharpshooter arrows. You could go on and on, taking away the +1 or +2 bonus and replacing with a feat. Magic breastplate now has the heavy armor feat. Of course you can still leave the +1 bonus if you like, but I would do one or the other not both, unless it was an extraordinary rare item.
Potions of Great Weapon Master, Ring of Grappling, Cloak of the Spell Sniper.
Has anyone else tinkered with doing that and how did it work out?
