We just had a massive reveal for the next season of DnD.  Let’s build off that!

Giant Hunter

You are trained to take down the large.  Gain the following benefits:

• When you attack a creature with the type of giant with either magic or weapons, increase your proficiency bonus by 2 for the attack and increase the damage dealt, if any, by your new proficiency bonus.
• When you perform a skill check against a creature with the type of giant, increase your proficiency bonus by 4.  These checks can vary from a Wisdom(survival) to track or to a Charisma(intimidate) to intimidate the creature.

How about Monday’s feat but for DnD 5e!

Intelligent Debate

You know the walk and how to talk!  Gain the following:

• Increase your Intelligence by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You may use your Intelligence or Charisma as a for Charisma(deception), Charisma(persuasion), and Charisma(intimidation) checks.

Thoughts?

Ok, I have two feats for today!  I’m conflicted as I think one is too powerful,but I think the other might be too weak.  Check them out and give me your thoughts.

Enhanced Proficiency

You are a true focused master!  Increase your proficiency bonus by +1.  This bonus occurs before any other effects or abilities would change your score such as expertise.

OR

Enhanced Proficiency

You are a true focused master!  Gain the following:

• Choose an ability score.  That ability score increases by +1, to a maximum of 20.
• When you perform an attack, check, or saving throw using the ability score chosen above, increase your proficiency bonus by +1.  This bonus occurs before any other effects or abilities would change your score such as expertise.

What do you think is more balanced?

I’ve been thinking about yesterdays feat.  Let’s work on it and make it a bit more general…

Focused Ability

You’ve trained yourself in one area to be the best that there can be.  Chose one ability score and gain the following:

• Gain a +1 bonus to the chosen ability score, to a maximum of 20.
• Gain a pool of three Focused Ability points for that ability.  You can spend one point to gain advantage on an attack, check, or saving roll using the ability chosen for this feat.  You must spend the point before the roll, and this advantage does not trigger abilities like sneak attack that require advantage.  This pool of Focused Ability points refreshes after a long rest.

Thoughts?

I always love characters who just happen to have what they need at any given time to get out of a strange situation.  Let’s make that happen in DnD.

Preparation feat

You might not be the smartest one in the room, but you are the most prepared.  When you gain this feat, spend 50 gp and gain the following:

• Increase your Wisdom or Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain a collection of random “stuff”  these might range from iron chopsticks, bent forks, broken swords, and other items.  These items can not be used in combat, but you can use them to solve other problems.  If you are in a situation where you need a random, non-magical item that is not listed on your sheet, you can make a Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw DC 10.  On a success, you find an equivalent item that will suit your needs for this problem at hand.  These could be using iron chopsticks at pitons for a climb, a bent fork as working thieves tools, or even a broken sword hilt as a hammer.

Thoughts?

How about a way for a rogue to make a second sneak attack ?  Let’s do it!

Double Strike

You know how to make it hurt.  When taking the attack action, can take a second attack, and already used your sneak attack ability that round, you can give yourself disadvantage  on the second attack to make it a sneak attack.  You can perform this second sneak attack even though you have disadvantage.
