[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7713894, member: 6801845"] No worries. I think I said this before, but this is the first UA that I would not want to consider using as written. A couple (Diplomat, Menacing) seem broken. I see certain types of gamers stating that every high charisma character should take those feats and then proceed to stomp all over every AL encounter. Then complain because the mods aren't tough enough. So the writers ratchet up the difficulty where in order to survive, you have to optimize your character. For certain build such as grapplers, the Brawny feat feels like a feat tax. Some give you magical abilities like Stealthy which apparently turns you invisible for a short period of time under certain circumstances. With Perceptive, an 8th level human rogue or bard can have a passive perception of 30 and ignores light concealment. Others? Others are just artificially jacking up the skills with little other benefit like Investigator. Search as a bonus action? Really? Have you [I]ever[/I] had a character search during combat? Tweak the rules [S]so they don't stack with expertise,[/S] to change some of the benefits and maybe. But it's a pretty major rework where other articles where either fun (if a little rough) or just "meh". [EDIT]I keep forgetting the no stacking proficiency - oops. [/QUOTE]
