[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6351722, member: 5143"] I'd say that's debatable. As I mentioned, I've been running 2 5e games for a while now and there's nearly an equal number of feats and stat bumps being chosen. I'd say that whether they are worth it depends on the character that is taking them. Any mechanics added to your character make it more complicated. I mean if your fighter's character sheet says "+6 to hit for 2d6+4 damage. Reroll 1s or 2s for damage with two handed weapons." and another fighter's says "+5 to hit for 2d6+3 damage. Reroll 1s or 2s for damage with two handed weapons. If you crit or reduce an enemy to 0 hitpoints with a melee weapon you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. When you make a melee attack with a heavy weapon that you are proficient with, you can take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you can roll the weapon's damage dice one additional time, add your strength modifier, and add the total to the attack's normal damage.".....well the second one is more complex than the first one. So, by not allowing that feat you are simplifying the game. There are less decision points being made, there are less things that the player needs to keep track of. [/QUOTE]
