If WOTC released a compendium sized supplement that was just all new feats I would have a field day with character creation. I imagine every dm and a big slew of players would buy it to use in dnd beyond and every dnd youtuber would have a video about it. Tasha’s did really well if i remember correctly. I’m bored of defaulting to gwm and pam if i want good damage on a melee fighter. Other options that compare well to this would be great. Would this be a good thing for the game?
Context: So I’ve recently been looking into pathfinder 2e and the feats in it feel like so much choice compared to 5e, feats in it are split into types and u get a feat every two levels but i would be like racial feat (lvl0) lvl 2 skill feat(think chef for 5e) then like general feat lvl 4 so think any of the 5e go to feats.
The idea: now i might be off with that description and skipping some stuff but it seems like WotC want to make feats more common i think they need to follow pathfinder on it split them up and give them more often but keep combat ones the same pace then the skill/utility ones at lvl 2,6,10. Combat based stuff 0,4,8 so on.
Other changes/upkeep: Fighter would keep the modified rate for combat but maybe work at normal rate for utility ones then maybe add a ton of specialist crafting/skill based ones we don’t got yet, example we have chef for cooking wheres smithy for blacksmith:) Also might be a good idea to remove the stat increases from these feats since if they are given they don’t need more upside, maybe give bard, rogue, warlock or sorc extra utility feats.
Tldr: split feats into combat and utility and keep getting combat ones at same pace but add utility ones every other 4 lvls so 2,6 so on.
