Talk:Anatomy Expert (5e Feat)

Another neat feat I like. What if the crit multiplier started as soon as you took the feat so threat range is 19-20 on the selected type. I don't see a need for this feat to scale either. Then, instead of a flat +2, the character adds his/her wisdom bonus to the crit damage in addition to str or dex? BigShotFancyMan (talk) 08:48, 11 September 2017 (MDT)

Hey changes were made! Sweet :) I do think this will remained tagged until the scaling is removed from it. Just doesn't hit the flavor and I think most would agree it is too strong. If a fighter took this feat, the critical threat range would be "over powered"BigShotFancyMan (talk) 09:10, 12 September 2017 (MDT)

I would remove undead from the types list, as their anatomy is usually irrelevant, particularly with noncorporeal undeal. Marasmusine (talk) 10:11, 12 September 2017 (MD

Added clarification for the few cases in which this feat would overlap with other feats or a few select class features that give similar abilities. In most cases a superfluous addendum, but it allows for proper freedom to create characters. --Meep (talk) 09:36, 29 December 2017 (MST)

adding this additional stuff just creates a way to exploit this feat with outer features or its useless because if I recall right, there's no other core features/traits that increase critical threat range. Either way, your edit muddles the feat, which is balanced. If it overlaps, oh well. Plenty of cases in 5e where something overlaps and you do not get anything extra.

First party features and traits that give increased critical range that I know of are Champion Fighters, Hexblade Warlocks, and Oath of Conquest Paladins.

To better suit those classes and as a companion to this feat, for characters that are looking to further their understanding of creatures, I have created the Physiology expert feat --Meep (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2017 (MST)

Man, you really got me. way to go, load the wiki with more variants ;-) ..... BigShotFancyMan (talk) 00:15, 30 December 2017 (MST)

Variant

Rather than change a page to work differently than it’s original idea, creating a variant would be more appropriate or add a variant rule to the page. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 15:34, 10 July 2018 (MDT)
