[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8306089, member: 87792"] Because there's not even close to being a feat that rivals Reliable Talent - and the fighter starts off two skills and a tool proficiency plus two Expertises behind the fighter. And they gain two more Expertises at sixth level. That's basically two entire feats. The fighter doesn't get many extra feats over the rogue - from the PHB they could close the number of skills with Skilled but get no Expertise or from Tasha's they could get Skill Expert twice for an effective one feat cost and still be behind the first level rogue in skills known, and have only as many expertises as the rogue does at first level. And the Oh, and at tenth level the fighter and the rogue have the same number of feats making this an even more numpty-ish choice. (The fighter gets an extra one at sixth, and fourteenth, while the rogue gets an extra at tenth). This is basically a pure combat feat - combat is where you need those temporary hit points. Mechanically it doesn't do anything else. Again this is a feat whose only mechanical effects are about combat - and it doesn't scale well. That counts double when the options are objectively not very good. [/QUOTE]
