Heavy Armor Master is great for short campaigns and it can save your ass more than once, but becomes pointless if you are running a long-term campaign. As the campaign progresses, the difficulty increases and, not to mention, most hard-hitting damage you suffer comes in magical forms, the only thing this feat achieves is to make you regret picking it and beg your GM to do a Mulligan on it. Mage Slayer is pointless against spellcasters that know what they are doing, especially glass cannons who are completely aware of the fact that they MUST keep their distance in order to survive. Magic Initiate... Oh damn, I used to pick this feat instead of my ASI until I realized I can just multiclass into a Sorcerer. Yeah I strictly play CHA characters, especially after XGE came out (da best suplement evar) My personal choices: - Lucky because I am GENUINELY cursed for rolling Nat1's whenever I'm in a desperate situation so I can point a middle finger to the dice and tell it to go fuck itself. Although it doesn't work every time, atleast it prevents me from suffering the torture of the fumble-chart effect. Works fine against bosses to negate their criticals. - Resilient (CON) + Warcaster because I really, REALLY must maintain focus on the spells I'm concentrating on. Bless and later HASTE have saved our asses more times than I could count. - Diplomat because I really, REALLY do like to RP a lot and I'd prefer that GM's would focus more on the words that are being related then just saying "Roll Persuasion" after I busted my ass trying to genuinely convince someone. Really hurts when your rollplay doesn't match your roleplay...

The major drawback and the only reason why I never considered this feat is because it can only be applied once on someone inbetween rests. That and I always play dedicated healers so it's kinda redundant for me :)

[@filipferencak2717]

@@argenthellion Applying it only once per person per short rest is overpowered already. If you have a stabdard size party, that's 3 spell slots you get to keep PER REST, meaning it could easily turn into 6 spell slots if you take a short rest mid adventure. There's a reason why this feat is considered op. Edit: I also failed to mention how every time you use your healer's kit to stabilize a creature, if you do, they get a hit point. That means that instead of being on the ground unconscious, they can continue to fight. For a pro healer with a high medicine score, this is basically the better version of Spare the Dying. You can do this indefinately.

With it and Armored (I think that's the one, it's been years), I made my first Bard into the party tank and healer, since everyone else besides the ranger (who had a draconic kitty companion) was some flavor of squishy. It worked really well. I remember that in one combat my high base armor class (24 AC base at lvl 5) and that flat damage reduction let me absorb something like 12 hits and take 1 (ONE) damage in total. *It was great.* I later got a psionic ability (the whole party got unique abilities) that let me reduce the damage of an enemy hit each turn with a reaction, so I proceeded to tank and save people even harder. This isn't even counting that, if I really had to, could pump up the AC to 32 and get resistance to ALL damage types (Warding Bond is OP if you have a high-hp summonable mount that you can cast touch spells through - I had a celestial tiger, he was adorable). I loved playing that Bard Paladin.

[@starshinedropkick2668]

I remember Mage Slayer. My Thief got a unique homebrew variant where she would instead attempt to slap casting components out of a nearby spellcaster's hand as a reaction, potentially interrupting the spell and wasting their action entirely. This was mostly allowed because she was overall quite weak due to being far more utility than raw damage, and it required them to be super close to the spellcaster, which usually meant going out of my way to put her into that position, usually by avoiding combat for a bit to close distance through stealth. Generally just super fun to imagine this little halfling girl jumping up and slapping beads, bones, jewels and other magical items out of peoples' hands in slow-motion, wiggling a tiny finger at them with their other hand.

[@abadidea5984]

One of my favorite feats that often goes overlooked is Skilled. Yes, grabbing a few extra skill proficiencies is a big quality of life boost for most classes, but the REAL treat is using Skilled to pick up Tool Proficiencies, which you likely can't pick up any other way except through your background. Tools are SO horrifically underused and have SO many applicable uses that using Skilled to pick up a handful of tool proficiencies makes you a literal MacGuyver. Check out the nonsense you can get away with using just Carpenter's tools, listed directly in the book: "Build a temporary shelter", "Design complex wooden structure", "Find a weak point in a wooden wall", "Pry open a door", all this and more because you have a hammer, a saw, and some basic knowledge of architecture and engineering!

I was playing a wizard a while back who's mom was a bard, and so he took magic initiate (Bard with cure wounds, vicious mockery and mending) and became the backup healer for when our actual bard went down.

Yep. I have an Orc Thief Rogue with the healer feat, and that bonus action heal is so good. In the right circumstances, even better than a cleric, or at least more efficient. I can heal on an action AND bonus action as long as I can get to melee of both targets, wheras if a cleric uses healing word they can't turn around and cure wounds too because of the rule about multiple non cantrip spells in a turn. Almost no fight goes by where I don't have the chance to use it. Also, yeah, medical sneak attacks are a cool idea. Haven't done that, since I didn't take healer until level 12 so had been sneak attacking a lot before, but I have at times rolled medicine to know how to stab someone and make it hurt as much as I can without killing them, in a torture type scenario.

[@baileyface54]

Just saying, Keep Mind's recall ability can actually be pretty good. My favorite moment was when I was sneaking through an enemy strong hold as an assassin, and I kept overhearing conversations while sneaking about a place, but they were in a rare language I didn't understand. I made it back to the group and told the caster to cast comprehend languages. Everyone was confused but caster did it. I then used Keen Mind to perfectly recall every word I head, and impostor to perfectly mimic the pronunciations. Sure there are other things we could have done to prepare for that scenario, but we didn't realize we'd be in that scenario and that's the advantage of Keen Mind. That perfect recall can prepare you for many moments you didn't prepare for. I also used the keen mind frequently to stay in crowded areas listening to idle gossip and conversations, and be able to recall if anyone said anything about X thing for some info, especially when shadowing a man I planned to impersonate. "Oh did anyone say anything while I was shadowing this guy about...*thing I am being asked about*"
