I like it except the Racial Feats. I think that's a slippery slope that should be avoided.
And if we are not avoiding it, it should have included some for other official races, like Goliath, Genasi, Tabaxi etc etc.
I'm not a fan of reprinting stuff from SCAG either. I know why they do it, but still.

How so?

My personal preference is that Racial Feats should only exist for stuff that is biologically part of the race. Like say, improving a Dragonborn's breath because that's something other races can't physically do.

Was it a good thing for the system? 8/10 Great read, cool new options, and not just 3.x shitbloat that fucks up the balance of the game, and avoids making character generation more complex, and generally avoids outright trap options.
But fuck Hexblade. That thing has ruined free multiclassing permanently, and forces GM fiat to avoid fucking over the game balance.

Prodigy being a human only feat is retarded, and just further pushes Vhumans as the best race. HFY wank at its worst.

Eh, not great. It was more or less just a compilation of stuff they released online already.

You want a return of the terror of 3.5? Mountains of sourcebooks with one maybe two good feats in them. Players focusing more and more about optimal feat selection and not on how their characters are going to make child support payments. Or be like me and not allow feats. Problem solved.

>it should have included some for other official races, like Goliath, Genasi, Tabaxi etc etc. This. It should have included all of the official races so far.
