5 MORE Underrated But AMAZING Feats In D&D

With this video, I think I've just about covered every WotC published feat that I think deserves more love in D&D 5e, at least until OneD&D comes along and changes them all...

I've been told to use keywords in video descriptions, but I don't know what I'm doing. I stole these tags from MonkeyDM who seems on top of this type of thing when we chat.

I will say, definitely ask your DM before trying to pull up with strixhaven initiate or the knights of solamnia feats. Not all tables necessarily allow setting specific content, especially backgrounds that come with free feats attached.

I need everyone to know about the telekinetic feat. Especially its 5ft shove. The amount of mileage that I have gotten out of telekinetic and especially that feature is insane. It’s literally free movement for my allies, bonus action disengage for myself, and occasionally shove baddies into bad spots. On any given turn that I am not using my bonus action to cast spells, I have the option to just move the battle wherever I want.

Telepathy + Scrying, + being an Elf (only needing 4 hours of long rest a day) = target dies of exhaustion? Awesome.

I'm so glad you brought up the fact that the Gunner feat has applications outside of people who want to replicate Percy de Rolo. It works on bows, too.

[SORROWCODE]

Or use the actor telepathy combo to mimic your targets voice, so they can't even trust their own mental voice.

Edit, so one of the replies brought up the point that it only allows you to mimic voices you can hear, so if this combo is to work, then you would also need to use detect thoughts.

[jorenthar]

Telepathy for evil/pranks? Yes please hehehe

[patrickhannon]

Double Bladed Scimitars aren’t the only 2 handed finesse weapon anymore, the hoopak from Dragonlance now also fits that niche

[goodgulfgas]

So that Knight of the Sword feat also has a prerequisite that you are playing the Dragonlance Campaign, as well as being either a Fighter or Paladin Class or Knight of Solamnia Background. I think that's why it doesn't get talked about too much.

I'm currently playing the Dragonlance adventure and going with "Initiate of High Sorcery (Lunitari)" + "Adept of the Red Robes" on a Watchers Paladin 7/Swords Bard 4 build.

Telepathic is a must-have on a druid, because of wildshape sure, but also because (as a wisdom-based character) you're likely to be one of the best in the party at Insight checks. You can silently inform the entire party if the NPC you're talking to has hidden motivations or if you suspect they're lying. (Then again, your component-free Detect Thoughts might be able to reveal this as well!)

[arcticbanana]

Quill from "High Rollers" has abused the Observant feat ever since he got it. He would regularly read people's lips and get information the party wasn't intended to get so easily, and one time skipped an _entire plotline_ with his ridiculous Passive Perception.

Strixhaven Initiate has been vital for my Owl House character builds.

[RealMiniLink]

When you suggested pairing the actor feat with the telepathic feat my first thought was using it to imitate the person I was talking to telepathically to pass myself off as thoughts that they were thinking, pair this with the previous suggestion of following someone around and speaking to them nonstop and you could probably cause any person of your choice to go crazy

[BJNemeth]

Your videos where you look for the fun side in things most people look past (like suboptimal feats & multi-class combos) are my favorites.

Keep up the awesome work! 😀

[blacksmith]

You're a monster for using that spider animation. I can't believe you've done this

[macjeca]

I did the revenant blade feat on an Aasimar Paladin. It was a blast. Especially when you add Devine Smit to every blow

[FrankiePeanuts]

Colby over at D4 used the Revenant Blade feat for the Blender half of his Battery and Blender team build. The Blender was a Wood Elf Barbarian/Rogue that was able to Rage and Sneak Attack at the same time. While Rage and Reckless Attack only work with Strength, Sneak Attack only states that you must be wielding a finesse or ranged weapon, not that you must be attacking with Dexterity.

[lemteegee]

In my opinion the most underutilized feets are the two(most of the time) attached to your body. I played an Aven Monk and it was so fun to describe my combat because unarmed strikes doesn’t have to be a punch. I was doing flying backflip kicks, wing slaps, roundhouses. Then my DM would reward my creativity with an extra D4 damage

[SimplexStorm]

I cannot stress enough how much I love this channel. Your content is 100% my favorite DnD related content that's not Actual Play. Thank you very much for what you do!

[milorilo]

I am planning on getting telepathic on my current character and one of the things I can't wait for is the detect thoughts without components effectively letting you read people's mind without anyone knowing

[PiroMunkie]

Another overlooked feature of Telepathic is that when you use the 1/long free cast of Detect Thought it requires no components so no one can tell you're casting it. The target won't have any idea until you attempt to dive deeper.

[ToxicWaffle]

I love the observant treat. I love making high passive characters and observant is the way to go if you want a passive that’s 20+
