Talk:Unarmored Arcanist (5e Feat)

"Removed the bit about shields as it is irrelevant."
It seems relevant enough for barbarian's Unarmored Defense, but alright. - Guy 16:21, 5 September 2018 (MDT)

I re-added the bit about shields to conform to the verbiage used in other official material (barbarian's Unarmored Defense, lizardfolk's Natural Armor).

As for this feat being "dull," there are three feats in the PH which increase an ability score by 1 and merely say, "You gain proficiency with X armor." This feat covers a similar domain of defenses and Armor Class, yet I would call it more interesting than those. This feat isn't going to win an award or something, but in that domain it is has clearly met minimum standards.

I'll agree the ability score increase was too much. As it is, this feat represents about a half-level dip into monk's 1st level class features, and competes with the PH's Magic Initiate feat if one uses it to gain mage armor and a couple cantrips. To me that seems about right without the ASI.

This addresses all the points made by the maintenance template, so I've taken the liberty of removing it. - Guy 04:49, 6 September 2018 (MDT)
