Talk:Rapid Puncher (5e Feat)

Non-Class Restricted

Although monks are the most likely option for this feat, there are multiple options of getting two unarmed strikes:

• Barbarian (Path of the Beast), Fighter (Echo Knight), Barbarian (Berserker), Ranger (Gloomstalker) are able to make two attacks at 3rd level
• All martial classes, except from rogue, gain Extra Attack at 5th level.
• Fighters with the Unarmed fighting style and Action Surge can do it at 2nd level.
• War Clerics can attack twice at 1st level.

That said, is not uncommon some feats being made with some classes in mind. Great Weapon Master synergy with Reckless Attack and Rage is an example of that. So, i believe that the requirement isn't unreasonable. Anastacio (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2021 (MST)

Feats are meant to be useable with as many classes as possible. The most restrictive prereq is spellcasting/pact magic, not extra attack. Also, feats don't have a level prereq, which each of the examples you gave besides war cleric do, and this feat is just a bland more damage feat and does nothing else. --Lavie (talk) 17:31, 7 December 2021 (MST)

This feat is usable for many classes. The sooner you can get a feat without being a Human, Variant is at 4th level, which is enough time for most examples i gave.

About this feat being just more damage, i don't think i agree. It introduces the additional damage with a mechanical restriction (two consecutive hits with an unarmed strike), which is more than some official feats do (such as savage attacker). I can maybe concede that this feat needs to be reworked, but i'm not sure if its warrant a delete template right away. Maybe a stub would be enough.
