Top 10 Feats That DO NOT Increase Your Damage in DnD 5E
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- In Dungeons and Dragons 5e, you can take feats instead of increasing your ability scores whenever you reach a level that allows you to do so. They're used to further customize and build your character in ways that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Some can increase your effectiveness in combat by allowing you to bypass resistances when dealing damage, for instance, while other feats might be taken for roleplay and flavor purposes. In this video, we'll be going over feats that don't necessarily increase your damage output, but instead, provide more utility and variety to your characters as you progress.

I once thought about curses and how they negatively affect your character, but I have found a curse that makes all projectiles be drawn towards a character, and considering that, the curse allows a monk to lower damage from projectiles if the entire party is around him. In that regard, I think a top 10 useful curses video would be very entertaining to watch.
Shield of missile attraction?
I also got a shield of missile attraction once as a paladin... Since I was the tank I was like "I see this as an absolute win. I want them shooting at me, not the wizard."
Observant is also a great feat with being able to increase your wisdom or intelligence by 1, increasing your passive perception by 5 and being able to understand what people are saying while whispering for gathering information and scouting which works especially well with a druid that shape shifts into a hawk.
I had a druid with Observant. I was constantly using it to read lips to gather information, even just in human form. And combining this feat with proficiency in perception and main-stat wisdom (because casting mod) gave me a passive perception of 21, which was so nice to prevent ambushes.
Start variant human, take observant, take a level of ranger with the sage background for 6 starting languages. Then take 6 levels of totem barb, 4th level take the linguist feat for 3 more languages and lvl 6 aspect of the eagle to see a mile even in dim light. So at level 7 you can read lips from a mile away in 9 languages!
Add in a sentinel shield and that's another 5. My druid has 22 ATM and is looking to get it to 27 lol
I am a DM, and if one day, one of my pc makes a passive perception oriented caracter, I'll make it discover Eldritch being, lurking here and there, potentially for Bloodborne type arc !
Almost useless if your DM doesn't use passive perception and very niche unless in a policitcal intrigue campaign.
I think the best user of the Healer feat is as a Thief Rogue. It's a nonmagical item, so you can bonus action to heal someone while still attacking. A sort of sociopathic battlefield surgeon. Run up, shiv the goblin that was attacking your friend, then heal your friend. You are the Murder Mom, running around with bandaids and a knife.
D4 did a video ages back using just that. I recommend it.
I know it's not one of the best, but I love skill expert. An asi, a proficiency, and the ever illusive expertise. It really helps to shape a character and add out of combat effectiveness.
My fighter had it, and his +13 athletics and high int skills have helped the party several times.
Its really underrated imo.
Agreed. I feel like it’s a pretty staple option, especially for str/dex half feats. It’s basically that or crusher/piercer/slasher. There are a few more Con options and a few species specific ones, but in general I think skill expert fills a critical role as a “great on anyone” option. At least till OneD&D makes everything a half feat.
If I've got an odd primary ability score I often take this feat regardless of class
Yes most classes have a better half feat as far as combat goes, but it's a great way to add versatility.... Especially on a class where you don't really have to try that hard to be effective such as a cleric wizard or druid where you literally only have to care about one ability score for combat purposes.
Skill challenges come up in the games I play in quite often though, we are a combat heavy table, but we also really enjoy the social and problem solving aspects, and most of us have been playing long enough where we don't feel like we really need to min-max for combat. Just cover our bases where we fill our role well, then branch into other things.
I will attest to the awesomeness of Skill Expert.
I played a grappling focused monk with Tavern Brawler and Skill Expert in Athletics in a one shot; he was less of a traditional Kung Fu monk and more of a big dumb guy who punches people, throws things around and wrestles ala Steve Reeves as Hercules. Thanks to having 18 Str and Skill Expert, he had +10 Athletics at level 5. He successfully grappled a shark to submission while the rest of the party swam by unmolested. It was pretty great.
I stopped playing Yu-Gi-Oh some years ago and recently started playing D&D... Where did that bring me?
Back to you
Heavy armor master is really underrated. Most games don’t go past 10th level. Most individual hits from those 3 damage types tend to be low, capping out at around maybe 20-30 damage-which means HAM still gives an effective 15-10% damage reduction.
Chef also grants that proficiency with cooking utensils. Whenever you take a short rest, you can make a meal with cooking tools that you're proficient with, granting anyone during that short rest who spends hit dice one additional hitpoint of healing for each hit die spent.
This means that a Bard with the Chef feat and Song of Rest would heal someone who spent 1 hit die 2d8+1 in healing. If someone spent six hit dice, they'd regain 2d8+6 in addition to their hit die healing. If you also had the Healer feat, you could also be doing that before a short rest. If you're in a party/group that tends to take lots of short rests, it's incredibly powerful.
Do a video where you list pairs, triplets, quads or quints of feats that work really well together. You could also make some of the combos specific to certain classes.
5 feats in one build? That is alot of fighters, rogues, or variant humans.
or something about multi classing the perfect storm of min maxing a certain strategy
I’m so happy to see Inspiring Leader get some love either from this channel or Dungeon Dudes, etc. I didn’t want to regret picking it for my fighter who has max Str and Cha
The Paladin in my game has Inspiring Leader. Every day the whole party starts with Temp HP. Considering how often combat ends with players saying they were at 1-5HP, this means that IL kept them up in the fight. It is absolutely worthy of being a top pick.
@@bigdbrown9137 I also wanted it to be very in character. He’s an experienced military man whose participated in numerous wars and has seen the ins and outs of combat so to be a frontliner with some form of hp control is very nice
So glad Gift of the Metallic Dragon made the list. Having the ability to use something close to Shield without expending a spell slot is great, especially with next to no restriction on it. Doubly so when you can extend that to an ally who is within 5 feet of you.
I don't know why this feat isn't more well-liked. I think it's awesome. I picked it up on my paladin of Bahamut in my current campaign and the protective wings has gotten so much use. Being able to protect myself or the barbarian next to me with a Shield-like ability comes up quite often.
I never looked at this feat before but my Ranger/rogue was given it as a role playing boon. It’s a fantastic feat. The “shield” spell proficiency times a day is pretty incredible
Gift of the metallic dragon sounds fun for an Aasimar where you could say that they're using their Aasimar wings to block the damage
I'm playing an artificer and I'm considering taking the Medium Armor Master feat, which will allow me to get the same AC as having Full Plate while only wearing Half Plate and no disadvantage on stealth checks. Additionally with Infiltrator armor I can turn that into advantage on stealth checks.
IMO, for Medium Armour Master to be worth it it really needs to be a halffeat
I used gift of the metallic dragon recently in two one shots. One was a level 13 one shot and the other was a level 20. I was a ranger for one and a arcane trickster rogue for the other. This feat was amazing to use for both. I used it for the level 13 one when getting in close with the barbarian after the cleric/warlock blinded the rest of the enemies. Between the silvery barbs and the healing I was able to utilize this quite well, and for those rounds I didn’t need to utilize silvery barbs I used my reaction for the wings for my party members. As for the level 20, I used steel wind strike, ended next to the Paladin, had my dragon (I’m a drakewarden) go to opposite side of the enemy, utilize their lightning breath attack, and then, before my turn came again, used the protective wings to protect the paladin from the crit from the enemy, keeping him on his feet. Then I got hit that round, and when I disengaged (some rogue levels) I cast cure wounds at a high level on the paladin before leaving the area. This kept the paladin up long enough for him to make some very critical decisions that won us the over all encounter. It also freed up the cleric that turn to continue other spells that were helping us win so they didn’t have to waste an attack on healing instead. I ended up very hurt by the end but we won and I’m happy about it. My move also finally broke through the no damage mechanic of the bbeg. Basically these are my examples of how well the gift of the metallic dragon can be utilized in combat, even for rogues and typically long range characters. It’s basically extra shields and I also recommend it for wizards too.
I remember my level 5 battle master fighter killing a manticore on his own without taking even a shred of damage thanks to heavy armor master. Similar thing happened when he took out a whole swarm of living unseen servants surrounding him because neither of them did any damage that was higher than three. Needless to say, the feat makes me feel like I’m playing on creative mode every time :D
I had a chubby wizard lady who I played with the tough feat and 16 con, plus the chef feat, and bonus hp from necromancy spells. The queen of chonk survived a great many hits that would've felled lesser wizards. Survived until the end of the campaign at lvl 14. Worth it I say.
I'd actually like to give shout outs to the Dual Wielder feat, on account of my recent experimentation with it and Barbarian. Some days you just don't wanna use GWM or Sentinel and Dual Wielder isn't an awful alternative for keeping damage, boosting AC, and adding some fun visual flare. Plus I realized that with Dual Wielder and the two weapon fighting fighting style the only restriction to your two weapon fighting is that the weapon isnt two handed and its something you're proficient in... including the Beast Barbarian's Form of the Beast Weapons like your Bite or Tail. Two-weapon fighting doesn't care about *which* weapon you use when you use that bonus action, just that you do. Not quite a non-damage focused feat, but I think its kinda neat. :)
I took the chef feat on my warlock to incentivize my party to take a short rest.
Disagreed with some here who made the list. Here's 10 which i think should've made the list:
1. feytouched (and to a lesser extent shadowtouched): arguably the best half-feat in the game. access to misty step, an asi and a good 1st level spell of your choice (hex, command, dissonant whispers, etc) is a great benefit. big miss on this list.
2. telekinetic: another great half feat. gives classes without a good use of their bonus action such as wizards a useful option. awesome for repositioning allies or grating enemies through entry spells like spike growth.
3. skill expert: another good half feat. notice a trend? typically the combat skill users arent bards, rangers and rogues. these are typically barbs and fighters who'd have to multiclass to pick up expertise for athletics. this feat eliminates that multiclass need and adds an asi.
4. metamagic adept: metamagic is excellent on any spellcaster. quicken spell opens up spell combos, transmute spell allows you to circumvent resistance and subtle spell allows outside of combat casting/avoiding counterspell. this is great to add on any spellcaster's repertoire or if using metamagic extensively, reduces the level dip into sorcerer to level 2.
5. crusher: another good half feat. great for knocking enemies into the air for prone and some dmg if you have extra forced movement (like repelling blast) while also rounding out an odd asi. for battlemasters, it's a great combo with lunging attack (or playing a bugbear) to trigger brace.
6. elven accuracy: another good half feat. you may think this increases dmg, but it does it indirectly. it increases accuracy while adding an asi. must-have for crit fisher builds.
7. mobile: great feat for melee characters to minimize wasting the 1st turn dashing while being essential in skirmisher builds that utilize booming blade. also good to increase grappler's drag distance.
8. warcaster: just like resilient con, great for protecting concentration while also allowing you to hold a focus/weapon and shield at the same time thus "increasing" your ac. excellent to combo with command/dissonant whispers too.
9. dragon fear: another good half feat. excellent on sorcerers to "double control" via quicken spell. any class with extra attack can use it too to add some control to their action.
10. eldritch adept: great way for ranged attackers to get misty visions. helps out warlock dippers round out their invocation load out. pick up devil sight for melee darkness users.
bonus. lucky: considered to be one of the best feats in the game but didnt make the list. wow. reroll atk rolls, saves or ability checks 3x a day. close your eyes for super advantage on atk rolls.
Alert.
@@binolombardi didnt mention it as it was already on the list. Oh and merry christmas!
Ritual Caster is actually an excellent feature for martial classes, as it gives them a scaleable out of combat utility option that grows as you level.
I did not know that was possible. Usually things like that are classlocked.
Reading up on it, Ritual caster is not nearly as good as you think. Trying to learn a wizard spell from a scroll requires a pretty high intelligence (arcana) check. So even if you pick one of the other ritual classes, if the spell is on the wizard list, you are probably just wasting the scroll if you are not an intelligence caster with proficiency in arcana.
My personal favorite picks (only including my top five, but there are other good picks)
1. Alert
2. Resilient
3. Inspiring leader
4. Skill expert
5. Heavy Armor Master
If you are a sorcerer or a non-caster ritual caster is also really strong.
Magic Initiate for their own class spells is useful for Bard, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Eldritch Knight Fighter, and Arcane Trickster Rogue, because you get extra spells that you can use spell slots on, as well as once per day for free.
And the Bard can ritually cast a Bard ritual spell that they learn from Magic Initiate. So a Bard could take Magic Initiate: Warlock to get Eldritch Blast/Chill Touch and Mage Hand. Add in Prestidigitation and Minor Illusion and you have a well rounded Bard for the stage or adventure. Take Unseen Servant as the 1st level spell and use it as a stage hand or on the adventure. Since it is on the Bard spell list, you can cast it with slots or as a ritual spell. Then you have Cure Wounds/Healing Word and one other 1st level spell for your Bard.
Cleric, Druid, Paladin and Wizard can do the same, but must also prepare the Magic Initiate spell from their list to use spell slots on it.
Chef + MetalicDragon + Inspiring leader.
"I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISION TO DIE!"
Chef is great but people often forget that cooking supplies already provide a buff to short rest. If they eat the food cooked by the chef they get the extra d6 and plus 1 for every hit dice used. Plus it’s cool
Feels like every single one of these feats should have some kinda additional bonus to them to make them in line with the power level of other stronger feats.
Heavy Armor Master, streamline, -3 damage per hit, regardless of source ~ Defensive Duelist, gain +1 DEX ~ Chef, grant inspiration when describing your cooking
Gift of the Metallic Dragon, gain +1 INT, WIS or CHA as per the stat used ~ Tough, gain +1 CON ~ Ritual Caster, increase starting gained rituals to 2 + prof bonus
Healer, gain +1 WIS ~ Inspiring Leader, gain +1 CHA ~ Resilient, gain +1 to AC and all saving throws ~ Alert, gain +1 WIS ... that would do it.
I love your videos so very much. Could I maybe suggest a Top 10 in party combinations?
Cool list concept! The Chef Feat, besides its practical applications, provides nice flavor to a character! (Pun intended)
Thief rogue with healer feat and you could be arguably make you one of the best healers in the game( thief rogues can use object such as a healer’s kit as a bonus action)
But wouldn't that only matter when someone drops to 0? If so, not really healing if you just make someone stable and unconscious
Love to see top 10 thunder and necrotic spells too
Defensive Duelist seems like a good feat for a rogue until you find out that you get the feat at level 4 and Uncanny Dodge at level 5 (Unless you take variant human/custom lineage, which most rogue builds work better with actual race features).
Both are used as your reaction, and Uncanny Dodge is arguably much better. It's much better to take something else, whether it be the +2 Dex increase or a more offensive feat.
I personally like the Fighter initiate and Eldridge Adept. Blind fighting or Devil's Sight can be very useful. I'm in a high lvl campaign (currently 18) that is planned to go Epic (Level 20 plus) a couple of us got lvl 4 fighters from the Deck of Many Things. My fighter is currently lvl 8 EK with Pole arm master, sentinel, blind fighting and a Halberd of certain death (can't regain HP when hit with it) this lvl 8 variant human fighter is keeping up with my lvl 19 Sorcerer with a little help ( had to drop regenerate once
*Inspiring leader* is great on a *summoner* - you can give your minions a pep talk before battle.
The Role Play of a Necromancer doing a speech to their undead can be fun, take a famous movie speech and shamelessly change some words, pun so badly the Bard groans.
_"They can take your unlives... but they'll never take your femurs"_
Happy to see boons get their video OwO
With ritual caster in this list, any chance of getting top 10 ritual spells (also the higher level ones)
Heavy Armor Master can also be combined with Armor of Agathys to make sure you maximize the damage handled by it
yes, YES!
D&DLOGS RETURNSSSS
My group recently had a lvl-1 oneshot where one of us picked Heavy Armour Master. The DM tried to subtly dissuade him from it, because it ended up useless due to that all the enemies we faced dealt necrotic damage. XD
Failed opportunity for the DM to make it useful.
Wanted to hop in here and say that Heavy Armor Master remains useful at high levels in large part because many high-tier monsters' melee attacks aren't magical and still do a degree of B/P/S damage. I'm playing a paladin with HAM and I can't count how many times it's saved my skin.
I simply love heavy armor master.
The 3 points of none magic damage is more useful then the host claims.
As a the reduction helps keep one in the fight longer and many creatures even at high levels have attacks that deal none magical blunt , slashing & piercing damage.
I have had numerous characters at all tiers survive attacks.
I agree with this. If you have multiple combats per day, it saves so much damage over the long term, even at high levels.
Yeah you won't be reducing the damage to 0 very often at mid-high levels, but you will still be mitigating a LOT of damage
Hi! Can you make a list of best spells that don't use your spellcasting mod?
Fun video!
Was kind of disappointed when they changed Healer. I like the new version, but I want this old one to return as a "Battle Medic" feat or something. I remember getting a ton of use out of it as a Fighter in a 2 player one-shot, where every time we were low on health and got to a relatively safe part, my stoic fighter would just plop down, pull out her portable tea set, and pop a baby aspirin from the Healer's Kit into each cup as a way to say "we're taking a short rest now, no questions." Even without using the feat in combat, an extra 20-25 extra HP per player per short rest without using any hit dice was invaluable in making it through the entire dungeon safely.
In my experience, Gift of the Metallic Dragon and Defensive Duelist are just outdone by Abberant Dragonmark - Shield
Not every group has sword coast adventure guide. Or was it Errobor?
I would be interested in the top 10 feats for variant human/custom lineage please.
all of these can be taken. So that video is made.
Very surprise you didn't include Keen Mind on your top 10
At our table we have folded the Healer feat into the Medicine skill. Helps make Medicine not so worthless. Also it's fun to hear a wounded character yell " MEDIC!".
Medicine should definitely allow adding the proficiency bonus to the healing.
i love chef. there is so much flavor
nice pun.
hope it was intended
What about War Caster?
5:14
My man said fiz-bangs
I wouldn't have put anything that has half an ASI because it technically can increase your damage if it pushes the stat passed a threshold, other than maybe Con. Also most feats don't actually increase your damage: Sentinel doesn't, War Caster doesn't, Crossbow Expert doesn't unless you count bonus actions or different kinds of opportunity attacks as damage increases(they aren't increases as much as more attempts in my opinion). I understand the intent was to highlight other feats and their utility that do more than make fight end quicker.
My Glory Paladin will be taking Inspiring Leader upon hitting 8th level. Give some extra bulk to our party in Avernus.
AC, temp hp, reductions, all increase your dmg. Being dead means not doing damage, and all those things increase your chances of survival, and therefore, increase your damage.
Athlete, I think, is pretty underrated. The ability to climb benefits the Z-plane. You know what else is an S-tier ability that cares about Z-planes? Flying.
This feat alone opens up more visuals upwards than flight because you begin to ask yourself, "Can I climb it?"
Mages who take this feat are unique in that, they're not as frail as you'd imagine. Climb up, gain some vantage in partial or even full cover. Normies would be stuck climbing at half speed.
I mean, it would make sense if campaign is set in heavily vertical space, but unless your DM loves using verticality you're basically going to be a weird mage asking "Is there anywhere I can climb for cover?" more than rogue asks for advantage, which really could be done more efficiently with just careful positioning behind cover. It really comes down to opportunity costs, it's not that you can't use it with some imagination, it's just that you're not taking another feat. But then again, if you're frustrated with certain feats being useless, just homebrew it, if nothing pops to mind add a half of ASI and have other effects be just a bonus, so they can fight the full ASI competitively.
Can you do one for creatures that deal the most damage for that damage type in dnd?
With or without spells?
@@gmradio2436 if possible, with no spells and just abilities they have that players can't get
@@Romeo_of_Romelution Aspect of Bahumat takes Radiant I think. Kraken might have yeet damage. The rest might be the Great Wyrms.
Chef: This feat is best on a Life Cleric who can put a Goodberry in the treats!
Defensive Duelist: the Barbarian can wrap a Whip around their Maul or Greataxe and bump their AC!
Absolutely not. 🤣
Inspiring Leader works great for one or two sessions but eventually your DM will just calculate the extra HP into their encounter balance.
You take alert! your character now has anxiety.
Best homebrew feats on dnd beyond?? Some people are very talented and make some good (,but not broken) feats and that can spice up a campaign for some vets that have been playing for a long time
I take Alert on almost every character I make. Glad to see some justification for that.
That Magic Initiate, Observant or even Keen Mind arent on here, but DEFENSIVE FUCKING DUELIST got put on is...
Idk, severe underrating of the value of a reaction due to being a 3-5 only player? But even that doesnt hold true since even just in T1 a wizard, sorc, lock, etc using absorb and shield cover the display of how much value there is (ignoring ready action, AoO and other martial reaction options).
I believe those are on the internal ban list.
Defensive Duelist is boring, but very effective.
Also, I specifically chose the Tough feat at 4th level for my Ranger because we had almost been TPK'd in the encounter just before.
I dont see how "making more and more attacks" reduces the usefulness of Heavy Armor Master. Yes, it is true the attacks are more likely to be magical. But as often, there are a lot of non-magical attacks you have to wade through before getting to the BBEG.
But at low levels, a Variant Human w/Heavy Armor Master makes a fun tank!
these feats are why i give out feats as quest rewards
What are all those extra words after “Top 10 Feats”?
Apparently, Find Familiar is awesome, and it's a ritual.
I am keen to the prodigy feat. But i know 100% it isn't the best. For one it's restricted to humans, half-elves, and half orcs and doesn't give an ASI.
However it gives a skill proficiency, a tool proficiency, a language, and give any one of proficient skills expertise.
The usefulness does vary campaign to campaign, but giving yourself expertise in perception or stealth regardless of your class will always be good. The language could be handy if you're going to places where people might not speak common, or maybe your character can suddenly start to understand an ancient draconic or abyssal artifact and learn how to use it or warn the party of its danger. Tools vary DM to DM and could either assist you greatly, or just fall flat and do nothing.
Ehh.... the number of feats that increase damage are actually less in number than the ones that do. That said, here are two that aren't on this list:
Metabollic Control is a Unearthed Arcana feat for psionics that allows a character to short rest as a bonus action. Technically it also can be used to remove the need to eat, but that's largely insignificant compared to instant short rest.
Eldritch Adept is out of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and it allows spellcasters of any flavor to take Worlock Invocations. Technically this is not damage increasing, since there's lots of non-damage increasing Invocations; it's opening up a class feature to everyone with a spellcasting ability.
I had a character that has a chef feat. Gives me excuse to go full Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon. I.e cooking up some monsters defeated hehehe
Please, none that talk.
@@gmradio2436 I didn't..... Unless few of mimics count...
@@kurossu-san8080 Ok. had a barbarian in the party once. It started with goblin jerky, it ended in mass cannibalism.
@@gmradio2436 oh my... Tho yeah, nothing on the eating the talking ones. I might joke about it but not really doing so
@@kurossu-san8080 Ok. Just had to ask. I don't know if you want to know how dark that game went, so I will let the questions.
I'm a little surprised that there is no feat that protects your concentration on here
Im gonna say this for heavy armour master dr is still dr thats still 3 damage you don’t take
Do these increase my damage?
I think I agree with the list overall, but not the order.
Chef doesn't belong on the list. Temporary hp are so easy to get, and this is one of the worst ways. You'll rarely affect the max number of creatures because so many will have other options. Feats are too valuable to even factor in their flavor potential.
You lost me. Break down your points please.
@@gmradio2436
1) they consider temp hp easy to get.
2) temp hp doesnt stack, so if the creature has an option for other forms of temp hp, they are going to go for the better option. which wont always be chef.
3) they take the value of a feat in doing other things over the flavor, because feats are so rare.
i personally like chosing flavor feats, but with how rare they are, and how much you are giving up for the feats, it wholey depends on your campaign and campaign goals
@@KingBeevee That is it? I am not seeing how this feat is not viable for the list. This is a nice short rest, party buff feat. At worst it is 2 uses of 2 temp hp, but the only limit I see on that is the time limit so this can scale up to 49 temp hp per hour with the ion stone. And this does not expend party resources. Well, maybe rations.
@@gmradio2436 not saying they are right, just explaining their points. But yeah, i think it's fitting to, but as i said, it's usefulness 100% relies on the type of campaign and your party set up, as anything else with dnd.
@@KingBeevee True. A lot of people seem to forget that it is a team game.

Barbarian rage reduces all damage except psychic damage by one half
That’s not true. The feature you’re thinking of is a particular choice made when picking the totem subclass of barbarian.
@@binolombardi I stand corrected. I just dug out my players handbook and path of the totem, totem spirit bear reduces all damage except psychic by one half. Otherwise, it is just half damage to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing.
Comments for the algy
doubt about this list from an optimization perspective,
Defensive duelist is really not great, it eats your reaction and requires finesse, rogues and monks, the classes that are most likely to go melee finesse, needs extra defenses already need to spend their reactions a lot for things like the rogues half damage and out of turn sneak attack, and the monk grab projectile and others,
Overall its mostly a trap.
Chef is a lot of flavor for sure, however the amount of stats it grants are simply sad, inspiring leader is way better, and its not even on this list.
Dragon Fear while its Dragonborn exclusive should be honorable Mention, mostly because it got buffed with the Fizban variant of Dragonborn
Player Handbook Dragonborn are limited to using it everytime they about to use Breath Weapon which is once every short or long rest
Fizban Dragonborn on the other hand, are limited using Breath Weapon equal to their Proficiency Bonus per long rest
Got buffed by being nerfed from minimum 3, on dangerous days easily 6-7+ to pure PB count.
Ah yes clearly.
Meow!
"Feats that Don't Increase your Damage"
Very first feat is a half feat that gives +1 Stats. Potentially increasing your Damage if it pushes you passed your next threshold. 🤦♂️
Still not spell/grammar checking the yellow text? It's a really simple step to make your videos seem more professional.
