One last DnD 5e feat for a bit.  I like the downtime mechanic, but I’d like to build on it.  How about a feat to be quicker at applying it?

Quick Study

You are a very quick learner picking up skills that would take years to master in weeks.  You’re nimble fingers make any time you would take to fix gear and build things pass in the blink of an eye.  When you use downtime days to do any activity or training, the amount of days and money necessary to complete the task is cut in half.

Let’s keep the hits rolling with a new idea for Goliaths

The Stone People

You are the bedrock your people build upon.  You can not be stopped, only slowed.  Gain the following benefits:

• Increase your constitution or strength by 1 to a maximum of 20.
• Your stones endurance increases to 2d12.  At level 5 it becomes 3d12.  At level 10, it is 4d12. At level 15, it is 5d12, and at level 20, your stones endurance is 6d12.  You must still take a short or long rest to refresh this ability.

Thoughts?

The Deep Gnomes get a feat, but the other races don’t from the Elemental Evil Player Companion?!  Let’s fix this problem!

Genasi Focus

Prerequisite: Genasi

You are a paragon of your race.  A person truely chosen by the elements!  Gain the following benefits:

• Increase to the same elemental specific statistic you normality gain a bonus from at character generation by one.  As an example a Air Ganasi would gain a +1 bonus to dexterity.
• The elemental specific spells you gain at character generation now can be reused after a short rest instead of a long rest.

Thoughts?

With people flying around, someone is going to want to fly in some armor.  let’s make that happen!

Armored Flight

Prerequisite:  The ability to naturally fly with wings

You have worked hard to strengthen your wings to carry even the heaviest of loads.  Gain the following benefits:

• Increase your strength or constitution by 1 to a maximum of 20.
• You may now fly with any armor you are proficient with.

Thoughts?

The Aarokacra can fly!  Devils and dragons have wings too.  Could a tiefling or a dragonborn get wings?  Maybe…with a feat

Flight Mutation

Prerequisite: Dragonborn or tiefling

Deep in your family history are flying beings, and you’re lucky enough to gain that too.  You gain wings that allow you a flying speed of 50 and to hover.  You have to spend an extra 25% of any armor or clothing’s cost to modify the armor or clothing to fit you.  This is not true for magic items as they resize for you.  You may not fly with heavy or medium armor.

Thoughts?

You can charge and do damage.  What if you could stand tall and hold a position?

Hold Your Ground

You are a wall!  You don’t move the fastest, but you no one moves you or around you.  Gain the following benefits:

• Gain +1 to your strength or constitution to a maximum of 20.
• Gain advantage on any saving throw that would move you.
• When you don’t move for a turn, gain a +1 bonus to your AC and any attack you make.
• When a creature moves to engage you in melee, as a reaction you may make an attack against that creature.

Thoughts?

How about some feat for DnD 5e.  If there is a crossbow feat for DnD 5e, then let’s make a longbow/short bow feat for DnD 5e!

Bow Expert

Your skill and speed with the longer bows makes you a formidable foe.  Gain the following benefits:

• Increase the damage dice for any longbow or shortbow you you by one step.  As an example a d6 weapon would instead deal a d8.
• As a bonus action each round, you can shoot one additional arrow with a longbow or a shortbow.
• As a reaction each round, you can make an attack with a shortbow or longbow when an enemy moves into its melee range and engages you for the first time.  This one attack does not suffer disadvantage.

Thoughts?

How about giving a helping hand in DnD 5e?  I don’t see enough people using the aid another for advantage rule.  Let’s make a feat to help with that.

Support

You work for the good of the team.  As a bonus action, you can now the aid another action.

Thoughts?

I’ve been thinking about how to combine skills in DnD 5e.  Here’s a feat that does some of what I’d like to add to the system.

Knowledge is Power

You’re good at talking to people, but better when you’ve got some knowledge of what your talking about.  Gain the following benefits:

• Increase your intelligence or wisdom by +1 to a maximum of 20.
• When you make a Charisma(persuasion), Charisma(deception), or Charisma(intimidate) check and have proficiency in a relevant skill, you may double your proficiency bonus for that check if you include information from that knowledge in your check.  In the case of expertise, you triple your proficiency bonus, not quadruple.
