More over, I was in a euphoric state of making a bunch of homebrew content: feats, races, items, etc. This was the first time ever I was using DnD Beyond. I was having fun! It was not until much, much later that I realized the err of my mistake! And the website doesn't let you remove content people have downloaded. Once it was published, I was doomed. To provide a bit of context to why I made it, my friend was running a campaign in which ability scores were allowed to reach above 20, whether it be from Boons, magical items, or (as a house rule he used) feats. So at the time, I was playing a Human Monk, with a 20 Dex. I wanted it to be higher (because as we all know, Monks are clearly sooooo weak), and therefore I made the feat so that it would allow my Dex to succeed the 20 cap. I seek your forgiveness Jacob.

[@Thariorn]

To be fair, I think the point of "Advanced Programming" is in allowing you to take more stronger Feats. Now, I'm not knowledgable in DnD, but in Pathfinder, a DnD 3.5. derivative system, there are Level Requirements for Feats. So picking Advanced Programming would allow you to trade a weaker Feat into a stronger one (Although Feat retraining exists, so, still not necessairly a needed feat, but still usefull)

[@draegonspawn5361]

@@Thariorn 5e rarely has feats that are level locked. Instead the feats just require you have 11 or 13 in an ability score. In pathfinder that feat would hold some major effects if your table doesnt use the retraining optional rules. As there are so many feats that require x character level or BAB totals

Because Feats are a listed reward for completing certain special Training tasks in Chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Thousand Miles seems like one of those types of rewards. Congratulations, you did a thing, take a thing. Same with Adept Training. They aren't ASIs because these are rewards during the campaign, not to be taken exclusively on level ups. People negatively reviewing these feats for being "Just ASIs with extra steps" just don't know the rules, and that's fine, because they're probably players, but DMs can give out any feats they want as rewards to players.

Effect: You used to be a weak, slovenly, basement dwelling waste of space, but recently you got your act together and started excersizing. Now after months of hard work, you are finally starting to see results. - You gain +1 to your Charisma. - You roll 4d6 and remove the lowest number from the result, then repeat another 2 times. You can replace your Strength, Dexterity or Constitution scores with any of these numbers if they are higher than your former stats (not counting racials bonuses or ability score improvements). - Your weight becomes the average for your race. (This isn't meant to be serious, but could be funny to have a wizard just spend a quarter of a year to get jacked. Charisma bonus is for confidence boost.)

[@grandmaster125]

They may be the case, but that doesn't fit in the templating for similar effects in 5e. While most of the rules clarify the "to a maximum of 20" part for ease of reading, that is implied in any increase to an ability score. The Ability Score books, Epic Boons, or Barbarian 20th level feature all specifically state that it increases both the score and its maximum. I'd still rate it badly for the templating problem.

[@TheL0rd0fSpace]

Honestly, Advanced Programming could be decent. You can essentially turn a feat this level into a feat at a later level, where you'll have the prerequisites for better, higher requirement feats. So, instead of a mediocre feat how and an awesome one later, you get no feat now, and two awesome ones later? I'm really trying here.

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Of feat prerequisites there are only You are a race You have a 13 in a certain ability score You have spell casting You have martial weapon proficiency. You are proficient in medium or heavy armor The first 2, basically won't change outside of the ASI you wasted, but the second two might with multi-classing. And although they change with one level it's often important to not make a 1 level dip before level 5 if you want a third level spell / multi attack at a reasonable level. Although, unless you want a spell casting prerequisite feat or martial weapon proficient feat for both levels 4 AND 8 there's not much point otherwise you could get the one you would get at 8 at 4, and the one with the prerequisite at 8. The feats with spell prerequisites are Spell sniper, war caster, or eldritch adept. Eldritch adept is good but if you don't have spell casting by level 4 do you really want spell sniper or war caster? The only feat that requires martial weapon proficiency is the one that gives you a fighting style. And blind fighting or armored might be nice even if you don't have those proficiencies you can almost certainly get a higher AC with an ASI in dex in those circumstance, but you could just get that feat at level 8 if you get your martial proficiency post ASI since there isn’t any other feat it might share. There is the armor perquisite feats heavily armored, heavy armor master, and medium armor master too, which is worth mentioning here since multi classing into a martial class might give you both medium armor and martial weapons and you want both medium armor master AND an extra fighting style. Good if you're trying to make a wizard with a plus 3 dex into an AC tank and are willing to sacrifice two ASIs to do so. As for feats that require spell casting. Eldritch adept comes to mind, it has a few good options a non caster would want but every other requires casting feat only improves your spell casting in ways that a character who does not have spell casting by level 5 won’t care for unless you are some home brew class that has a use for concentration. Or fey touch shadow touch, which are better on casters for giving spells known, but still useful on non casters can be picked up on non casters anyways so the feat isn't necessary just pick that up now and the prereq at level 8. One character that comes to mind who would want this feat is someone who starts echo knight 1-5 to rush multi attack, then goes ghost Lance, picking a 1 dip in warlock then advancing in either class, and wants to have both war caster and a second requires spell casting feat (probably either meta magic adept or eldritch adept) for their first two asis even though they weren’t a spell caster when they got their first ASI. On the martial side a once was basic caster, probably an abjurer after getting third level spells might multiclass into fighter (probably eldritch knight) and intend to have ludicrous defense with medium armor master AND an extra fighting style, so they can have defensive, and blind fighting and the AC of plate without the stealth disadvantage. Good if you rolled a 3 dex Another good option might be: multi classing out of wizard and into artificer, which gets medium armor proficiency then picking up both heavy armor proficiency and heavily armored to reduce physical damage intake by 3 without breaking from the spell progression of wizard at all! It’s harder to balance the martial side of things since spending two feats on armor is very hard to justify as is needing 2 fighting styles if you are first and for most a caster, since you only get value from blind fighting, since even defensive isn’t as good as other defensive options. But a modified ghost Lance can make effective use of this in a way that smooths a otherwise jagged multi class progression More likely this isn’t isolated homebrew: and it’s a feat in a game where the dm offered a larger selection of feats whose perquisites might be met later. Many people have pointed out this feat would be overpowered in pathfinder because level prerequisite feats get exponentially more powerful at higher levels. This feat may be trash in isolation since it’s so difficult to imagine a build that gets even a tangible benefit from dodging a prerequisite since it's so rare for any build to benefit from TWO DIFFERENT feats that have prerequisites you didn't have by the time you got an ASI, in a game where prerequisites almost exclusively exist because the feat would be worthless if you lack them, but it may not be so difficult in the kind of table where homebrew feats are freely picked from dnd beyond collections, and when prerequisites are something that have to be considered

I feel like people must be using the website to just put up feats that are designed very specifically to add flavor or fix a specific problem that doesn't make sense outside of the immediate context of that group. The thousand miles one, for instance, I bet one player was getting annoyed at how frequently his low-level character was going down and regretted making his CON so low, so the DM said "well, you have been travelling a lot, so put this feat on your sheet to show how it toughened you up". Same goes for other ASI feats - I bet the DM decided or read somewhere that it would be cool to give ASIs special flavor to make them seem more personal to each character, and they just... put what their players came up with on the website for some reason. The double-feat feat was probably a player who levelled up, went looking for a feat to pick, realized they forgot to pick their last feat, and so the DM said "here, let's say you actually took this special accelerated learning feat that lets you take two now", or maybe they had a build idea that worked except that one feat had a prerequisite they couldn't meet for two more levels, so the DM just said "okay, you can skip one feat to take two later".

[@Zorzdog]

The “feat insurance” could be interpreted as “from now on when you take a feat you can take two”

On Absolve Sins, as a Jew, I found the "Judeo-Christian Hell" bit even funnier because there _is_ no Judeo-Christian Hell. Hell is exclusively a Christian thing. Judaism doesn't have an official doctrine on the afterlife, but the most common belief is that suffering in the afterlife lasts for a maximum of one year (so closer to the concept of Purgatory than Hell). Most Jews really don't buy into the concept of eternal damnation. Tl;dr just say Christian Hell. Jews don't believe in Hell.

YES! This

I came for a meme video and left with a bit of Theology knowledge. The internet is a beautiful place.

[@lt3746]

Only a year? Damn

[@lt3746]

@Jarreth Oglesbee I guess it makes sense

[@kkTeaz]

@Jarreth Oglesbee and there's me as a christian who's just like "nah, suffer eternally. Get destroyed possible murderer."

[@Sparrow_Bloodhunter]

advanced programming would be cool if the double feat thing was permanent, you basically waste your level 4 feat but then gain 8 total feats by level 20 instead of the normal 5. obviously this wouldn't be useful in short one shot campaigns, but if you're planning on going extremely long term with this character it'd be great. I'd honestly consider allowing this if it were buffed, it's original form is too weak.

[@BrunoFernandes-ty7mf]

Even if it was a score increase in INT or whatever, and the next level two feats. If the feat gave ANYTHING when you pick it, would be enough.

[@thenethersheep5963]

But as that one comment said that would be unbalanced in the fact that it would almost be required to take that feat as a Warforged, it is amazing for every class with no opportunity cost lost as the feats you chose not to take can just be earned later

[@zozilin]

The easier way to balance it would be to forgo a feat to take three next time. You can gain one extra feat by delaying it for a while

[@plazma0325]

Being 4 feats ahead of your teammates doesn't seem very balanced to me

[@Solrex_the_Sun_King]

Whenever you take one or more feats, instead, take that many plus an additional one. You may take this feat any number of times, but not more than once per level up. Edit: balanced it.

12:56 They probably meant "Proficiency in Con Saving Throws, if you already have Proficiency in Con Saving Throws you gain expertise in them instead." A thing you can have.

my brain briefly melted when jacob corrected that and my old fighter using the joints of his armor as a neck rest to sleep on almost poofed out of my mind

[@robdatboi992]

They write these descriptions like they’re Fallout perks

[@caelodevorago608]

Okay. So my *guess* for the programming one... The player was like "Man, I wish I had the pre-requisites for this feat, but I also want this one too, that I don't have a pre-reqs for" And the DM let him basically bank his lower-level feat slot, to be able to take both of the ones he couldn't get before, instead of choosing just one of those I'd totally see using that to help one of my players
