Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 7839590" data-attributes="member: 20564">Sure you can.  If after 3-4 ASIs every wizard has the mostly overlap, that's a heck of a lot worse.  Feats are about customization - if there's effectively no customization over the course of your entire play because everyone takes the same top feats (and we can't pretend that all of the feats will be perfectly balanced individually and in groups that there won't be a top crop).  That's a lot less variety then an ASI and then a choice of feats.Plus, it don't agree with the premise that all characters take an ASI at 4th.  I've personally played several characters who have taken other feats.  Sometimes a full feat, like my half-elven paladin who took Inspiring Leader.  Sometimes it's a +1 ability score feat like my 17 DEX halfling who took Second Chance (from XGtE).  I've seen others do it at the tables I've played.  While it's most common to go for an ASI at 4th, going feats already happens.Another way to say that is "once you hit your cap, you are effectively locked out of taking more feats focusing on your prime ability score because they are very sub-optimal compared to advancing an ability".That's how it was for all of the previous editions.  If you think Bounded Accuracy is a failure, then remove it.  I'm fine with it for my style of running because it increases the variety of opponents I can use, but there is no universal truth in that.  While I happen to like the changes it has brought, there's no objective metric I can point to in order to say Bounded Accuracy is better or not for the game as a whole.</blockquote>
