D&D 5E (2024) Rogue abilities help

[Horwath]

Can you not take origin feats as a general feat? If I don’t get reliable talent until 7th, I could just take skilled at 8th

you can, hopefully, DM will add +1 ASI to origin feat if taken at 4th level as no origin feat is worth +2 ASI
also, all 4th level feats could be origin feats if you remove +1 ASI from them.


whole split was made needlessly so "new" players are not "overwhelmed" with options.

You can but you are giving up a better feat or an ASI.
