Season 2 Episode 9 - Beyond the Basics: Understanding Feats in D&D

Since 5th Edition was released, people have argued over whether it was better to improve your ability scores or take a feat every 4 levels. Feats are powerful changes to the way your character plays, sometimes even adding increases to your ability scores themselves. While sporting a list that includes over 60 published feats, they still seem to be under-utilized in 5th Edition. We'll discuss why they're important to your character build, when the best time to take them is, and give you our list of must haves on this episode of the Crypt of Knowledge.
