Just because it is the only data we have doesn't mean it's accurate really. We know people use it to test out builds and such with character concepts that never get played. I don't count that.I cited before the poll I did on EnWorld and over 90% of games used feats IIRC. I'm not saying that's any better data, but at least I know where it is coming from and people posted about characters they actually played. I find that more reliable.I've stated how a 16 (or 18 sometimes) is all I need for my PC to feel satisfied. I rarely bother boosting any other ability score unless I have two odds I can make even to bump up the modifiers. 90% of the time I will bump stats with feats that grant ASI +1's anyway. Sure, there aren't a lot depending on what you want to bump, but I see those feats as killing two birds with one stone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER] has said, so many feats offer way more benefit both for flavor and game mechanics than a simple stat bump via ASI.Anecdotally, more people here have expressed that they used feats, even if only a couple, than the single one (maybe two) who said they never use them. I can honestly tell you in our tables 3 out of 4 ASIs go to feats, not ability score bumps. For others, it is reversed and maybe 1 in 4 ASIs go to feats, but the fact is the still use them.If the average PC gets 3-4 ASIs, I couldn't imagine using all of those on ASIs! It would seem like such a waste!Either way, thanks to everyone for continuing to share your own views and insights into the game (and for keeping the thread that will not die going! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ).</blockquote>
