The "you know where every tavern is" feat is a legitimately funny character trait for someone to have, and I would 100% allow it in my games. Imagine you just arrive at a new town, you take your eyes off Greg for *one second* and he's already walking back from the pub with a pint in hand.
You just need to change it so that the damage also only works while in a tavern. Maybe even add a little bit of other boosts like higher AC or something while in a tavern, just to make it more hilarious. And then have the party head to a super religious country where all alcohol is banned for a quest just to mess with them. And then if you really want to mess with them have them run into a tavern in the bad guys fortress where all of his minions go drink, and really they are just a bunch of rumrunners.
Okay, but the "Tavern Brawler" feat allowing you to know where every bar is just actually pretty fucking funny. It's the D&D equivalent of that one Simpsons bit where Moe keeps throwing Barney out of the bar, but he keeps appearing back in it.

I kinda want to see somebody make this an entire subclass, like a guy who's whole purpose and reason for being is locating bars wherein he gains multiple advantages to knowledge checks and combat through various means. Naturally he gets favored terrain: Inns and taverns, resistances to alcohol poisoning, various monk style movement buffs (that only work in taverns), advantages to pub games (arm-wresting strength checks, dexterity dart checks, etc), advantages to social stealth checks to blend in with the locals, etc. You could go real deep with it. But the Ring of Inn-Visibility is still a next level pun. Presumably it's but a fraction of the true Tavern Masters (puny name TBD) power.
man the Abused feat is next level dark humor and beautiful in it's own way, bludgeoning damage resistance because you're used to the beatings, psychic damage triggers your trauma of emotional abuse and stuns you because of it, but overcoming it makes you snap and fight your agressor even harder while disregarding your own safety just to make it go away, you already saw the worst monster as a child so you're not easily frightened, but years of abuse and depreciation made you emotionaly vulnerable to sweet words so you're easily charmed. You made it to adulthood and overcame your trauma gaining strength in the process but the scars still remains, it's kinda poetic

I like how ultra instinct not only makes you unable to sleep ever again (immune do unconscious) but also unable to even lie in a bed, as lying down would make you prone, which you are also immune to. You're doomed to always stand or sit or move, but never able to lie down again.
Ultra instinct goes so over protective that it denies you the ability to leave yourself vulnerable via sleeping or laying down. Little does it know. We are eepy creatures
Nope. It's still better. At least you know you will have the same amount of feats. True strike will not be good as just doing it twice. And it still has a chance to not work.
It depends. If you can EARN feats outside of leveling up then it's pretty good. You'd only need to earn 2 feats to turn a profit. The issue i have is that you should 100% get another feat upon taking it to manage the downside of bricking your feats for multiple levels while you wait, it doesn't fit with the idea of Advanced Programing. Maybe Multithreaded Intelligence would be a better theming.
An alternative explanation to the weird mysterious knowing all taverns everywhere for the Tavern Brawler feat would be that your character is such a horrendous drunk that they’ve gained the ability to sniff out the location of any establishment that carries alcohol
Or it's just that, spending an entire day in the city is enough for you to know all taverns because you have enough experience finding them and know where to look and who to ask? But nah, that would be using logic.

I love that he has no problem with being able to cast Fireball as a bonus action cantrip, and then again as a regular cantrip, in the same turn, but the idea of knowing where every tavern in a city is something he can't fathom.
@@penguin_Penguins The feat he was talking about had the power "cast any cantrip as a bonus action" and a second one "treat any spell as third level or lower as a cantrip" or similar.
i like how "Zzzz Godly" has a paragraph that says "as an action, any amount of creatures within 100ft of you must make a CON save. on failure they die, on success they also die"
That's not what it says, but with 60d8 damage it might as well 😂 (It specifies that those who succeeded are unconscious, so maybe that was the writer's clumsy way of saying that this effect deals non-lethal damage and therefore the ones who made their save don't die.)
The idea that a childhood of regular beatings makes you resistant to bludgeoning damage is the funniest shit I've ever seen on this channel. I never knew that beating children gave them zenkai boosts.
I love how Jacobs response to most of these is like "We can fix this, this isnt terrible"........then came Abused and its like "WE CANNOT FIX THIS THIS IS NOT OK" which tbf is the correct response in this situation.
The part that got me the most is the one about having an advantage to being frightened and a disadvantage to being charmed. As in "All you want is to be loved, even if it's by horrible people who obviously don't have your best interest at heart." Not to trauma dump in a YT comment, but this sent me flying and brought back some memories. Gonna need a minute NGL 😂
this was made by a psych major with trauma idk i can feel it or a person who went to therapy and copes with story building to the extreme or alternatively, a creepypasta fan /neutral
I love the phrasing "cannot suffer a mishap" in the God entry. Like you can't drop your phone in the toilet or get a flat tire while you're late for work.
And when a mishap does happen you enjoy it. You trip and fall down the stairs? You land face first like the protagonist of a bad anime in some poor girls cleavage. (Obviously this is sarcasm)
What was wild to me about Abused was that taking that feat could just rewrite your history. You were just a normal player character, maybe took some ability score improvements or other feats as you leveled up, then one day BAM you grew up as an abused child. Suddenly unlocking repressed memories and abilities tied to those memories?
@@Elkantar_Rostorgh231which makes it more ridiculous funny the longer you hold it off for, like imagine getting it on level 16 or 19. which for the games im in* makes you a pretty old character if you got that far already.
The Abused feat is really fucked up but that's what makes it so good. "You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage" would be a completely normal sentence in any other context but here it hits so hard because toghether with the feat's name it conjures up a very specific mental image. You just can't deny the feat's mechanics really capture the flavour its going for
@@apjapki you're assuming a lot there but even if it was the case, isn't most of DnD kind of like that? Like, I don't need to be someone who gets into bar fights in real life to design a good Tavern Brawler feat do I?
The Aimbot one makes me want to add my "No Guard" feat to this site I made years ago as a troll option for our table, in honor of Pokémon. "You have mastered the art of the 'No-Guard' tactic. While you are conscious, melee weapon attacks made against you or any creature within 10 feet of you automatically hit."
That actually used to be a thing as a Barbarian only Feat back in 3.5 "Deathless Frenzy." You basically keep on swinging for +1 round after hitting zero hit-points or below. You can even extend the effect if you're somehow healing enough to go back over zero HP again.
Was also a class feature in 4e. Once per day, you refuse to fall unconscious until you fail a death save. Such a fitting thing for the Berserker subclass...
@@john7649 Oh, right yeah. That idea got recycled in the Zealot's capstone. Don't actually play Barbarian or find them that interesting, so I'd forgotten. The Deathless Frenzy thing just stuck in my mind because there's a boss in Neverwinter Nights 2 that cheats by having that ability despite it otherwise not being in the game, and it annoyed me.
Really channeling some wotc design philosophy here "unlimited bonus action versions of leveled spells and also double your cantrips known and also you learn spells cast on you and also it's a half feat" - wow that's not too bad "Improvised weapons do 4d4 damage" WHAAAAAT INSANE THIS FIGHTER WOULD GO TOO CRAZY
@@hugofontes5708 I’m not saying the change was entirely bad. But 4d4 is effectively a better 2d8. 4d4 for every improvised weapon at level 4 is a bit much. Though the reason these are so low down is because they are all op for no reason.
@@Candlemancer or leave the combat parts in, but make them only work in a tavern, have it so you try to bait your foes into your home ground, I can see pc going “I have the Tavern ground now, I am unstoppable.” Npc going, “yeah I am just going to burn that place with you in it, I am not dumb enough to face you head on in a tavern” Maybe lore wise they wound up drinking with the god of Taverns and got blessed.
HOLY SHIT... that critikal impression was SPOT ON... like, damn... i was listening to this in the background and honestly thought you just inserted the clip...
I was looking for the comments that point it out, but can't find it, so here's some interesting stuff: 'Advanced Programming' and 'Ultra Instinct' already showed up in the previous video, but the latter at the time was NOT called that. It was called something else, you made a joke and said it was like Ultra Instinct from Dragonball Z, AND CLEARLY THEY FOLLOWED YOUR ADVICE. THEY SAW YOUR VIDEO! YOU DID IT! YOU TAUGHT THEM THAT!
Hear me out: Advanced Programming _Prerequisite: Warforged of level 4 or higher_ Your computational form accelerates your capacity to understand even the most complex ideas and gauge your exact limits. When you take this feat, every time you would gain a feat afterwards, you may take two instead. However, also when you take this feat, you may not increase your ability scores in any way and may not select the Ability Score Improvement feature upon leveling up.
@@ZelphTheWebmancer I was thinking like that one episode of Teen Titans where Cyborg finds out he’s got limits bc of his robot body and how that clashes with his background as an athlete. That kind of story doesn’t have mechanical representation in DnD and ik that might not be what the OP was going for, but it was definitely interesting to me.
The "ultra instinct" feat sounded familiar and sure enough it was in the previous homebrew feat video as well, except under different name ("Can't touch this") and even more overpowered (it had stuff like +10 initiative on top of these abilities). The funny thing is that "Can't touch this" was made 7 months after "Ultra instinct", by a different user. The text is mostly identical except for the added abilities. This means that someone found "Ultra instinct", figured it wasn't strong enough, said "I can do it better" and made "Can't touch this". That's hilarious to me
Yeah, seeing this one here made me think the guy who wrote Can't Touch This came back to edit the feat after seeing the old video since xp mentions ultra instinct on it at some point while discussing another feat that reminded him of dbz powerups
"Jacob's Big Feet" sounds interesting too. Perhaps it could be related to increased walking speed/ignoring rough terrain/marching on a fast pace without the demerits.
The moment he mentioned prohibition during the tavern brawler feat, all I could imagine was a prohibition cop having this feat to sniff out illegal bars. Truly, they would be brawling against the taverns
I love you being 1000% behind the creator of Arcane Prodigy running overpowered content for their players. Reminded me why I subscribed to you in the first place. You know what D&D is all about.
I love how Jacob remembered he reacted to Can't Touch This but forgot he saw Advanced Programming back then too. "Feat insurance" was my favorite part of the last feats vid lmao
The “Tavern Brawler” feat could work if it was tweaked a little. Barhopper You spend a lot of time in taverns and bars and they’re the first thing you look for when entering a new town. - You have advantage on Perception checks when you’re trying to find a tavern in town - You know how to butter up a drunk; you can add 1d4 to your Persuasion rolls when your target has the Drunk status. More conditional but maybe more balanced?
Maybe a little too conditional, I would leave it as knowing all the taverns in town and 1d4 to charisma checks, or opposed dex checks when target is drinking or in pub. (This way intimidate and slight of hand, preform also get boosted) This way it is powerful but also situational.
I love the real critiques that try to help the homebrew like you did for Ultra Instinct. I would love to see a style of these videos that's mainly just that but focusing on the "middle of the road" feats or the ones yet unrated.
Lmao spencer joining in was fantastic: J: “see, if they want to run a game where they’re OP that’s awesome, gigachad moment.” S: “Can I have that? It’s cool.” J, with a look of eldritch pain consuming his face: “sure”
I had to check if you were being truthful and discovered there are already THREE feats named "Jacob's Big Feet". The first makes you cast Thunderwave with every step. The second makes you the DM. And the third literally just gives you absurdly big feet. God bless this community!
The gigachad:you should let her take It its awesome DM Jacob:no i shouldnt ITS overpowered The Wizard:thats why its awesome and you should let her take it
i feel like this kind of feat also comes from talking to your players and i feel like my players are just morbid enough to love something like that. however im terrified of implementing it
@@BlackHiltDefinitely depends on your table, for sure. I'd also never introduce it without a proper "session zero" level discussion about traumas, because some players might find it legitimately triggering.
@kashiichan oh I always do a session zero not only does it give me expectations to work off of when writing but I know what boundaries to not cross and for my players they've given me free reign to do pretty much anything
I like the idea of "low-level character with a broken feat among a party of high-level characters without broken feats." Like a level 5 Monk with Ultra Instinct with a level 10 party.
@@exantiuse497 we at least know he would die in 5 days due to sleep deprivation and exhaustion (if he isn't a elf or war Forged). So that character is literally temporary in to most screwed way.
@@exantiuse497like in the games im in days go by semi regularly so that mf would be dead in after 3~6 fights or 2 in some niche cases where fighting isn't the priority like a slow investigation that would take in game weeks.
I love how the last feat does nothing for saving throws or initiative, like if a wizard rolled good initiative and cast fireball that OP god is cooked.
To be fair, they never say how fast "an extremely fast rate" is, but depending on the group and DM I'm sure you could get a fair bit out of a learning speed bonus. Got a day or two of downtime and want to research about an area/person/monster? Well, I learn stuff really fast now, yo DM what did I find out? It's still not good... but it's not net 0, I guess?
The attunement thing is because there's feats that give a bonus per attuned item, so one more improves that bonus even if the item does nothing. Advanced Programming would make sense if most feats had level requirements (which was added and then removed from the 6e play test). By delaying a feat you can get an extra one above the next level gate.
Arcane Prodigy actually gives me a great idea: -Prerequisite: Wizard. -Increase your Int by 1. -When a wizard spell is cast within 60 feet of you and you and you are not Blinded or Deafened, you may attempt to memorize the spell. Roll an Arcana check with a DC of 8 + (the spells level times 2). You may roll with advantage, if you are one of the targets of the spell. On a success, you may add the spell to your list of prepared spells. During the next long rest, remove all spells memorized this way, except for one. -You may transcribe this spell into your spellbook following the usual rules for transcribing.
@@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123 Mega Man is more like "rip the pages of the other mage's spellbook out and graft them onto your own. They have their own spells per day recharge separate from the spells you learned conventionally." Or just being a Fighter and taking weapon upgrades from foes you kill, LOL.
9:33 “So long as the person you are persuading is drinking.” Based on wording, that isn’t drunk, just drinking. So as long they they either have a cup, or, more literally, they have to be physically chugging stuff from a mug while you persuade them.
*Play in a 1920s prohibition era setting* *Pick tavern brawler* *Enter new town* *Long rest* *Find out all the hidden bars in town* *Sell them out to authorities* *Profit*
No, no, no-then there’s no bars left. You find the smallest guy in town and you make him a deal to run everyone else out of business in exchange for a cut, and then you pick em off one at a time as you need money.
As long as the alcohol was purchased before prohibition it was a-ok to sell it. The authorities wouldn’t be able to do anything and you’d probably anger the mob biiiiig time
@@backonlazer791No. You still roll death saving throws at 0hp. Unconsciousness is not a requisite. Barbarians have this exact feature. You do not die instantly.
@@chrismanuel9768 The Zealot barbarian feature does not grant immunity to unconsciousness, they simply don't go unconscious, there's a difference. There are many elementals and some other creatures that are immune to the unconscious condition. Are you saying they aren't supposed to die at 0 HP?
when you were describing the killing and resurrecting bit, all i could think of was the scene from Misfit of Demon Academy where he just keeps snapping his fingers killing and resurrecting his opponent in front of the crowd until the dude forfeits xD
9:00 I'd prefer to go down the more savage route. Right infront of the tavernkeeper just yell at "I am aware of every single tavern in the known and unknown universe, and yet I cannot find one here" and just watch their business crumble away as you deny their right to tavernship
Honestly if you want an Ultra Instinct thing in dnd, you should make it a high level optional feature for Monks (like the ones from Tasha's) and make them spend a bunch of Ki to gain +5 to AC and Dex saves, but roll a Con save at the end or become stunned
I would have it be a sort of avatar state thing where it only activates if you are about to be downed. Then all of your remaining Ki points get used up, you remaint at 1 hp, and you are in ultra instinct a number of turns depending on how much Ki you spent. Works once per long rest and is mandatory. Meaning you cant not use it if you go down to 0 and have it available. Could even add a bit if exhaustion after it wears off.
@tobiasbayer4866 Maybe get rid of the immunity to a bunch of stuff and instead have the autonomic fighting work regardless(so you can dodge/counter even when unconcious, but you are still unconcious and can't choose to move/act). That way it's more like spider-man's body moving without his soul against Dr Strange, very cool to describe but clearly very situational and less useful than retaining full control.
@@scragar True thats a good point. Maybe combine both? Have one be an activateable combat ability, maybe while at low health, and one be a passive for when you get downed. Although at that point it would do way to much for a feat and would maybe be better off as just a monk subclass.
My favorite part about the tavern brawler feat here is that it says that after spending 1 day in a town you automatically know the location of every bar in the town. It doesn’t say you need to spend any time or effort looking for them, after 24 hours you just have an update of locations of bars on a Bethesda map in your brain
listening to this video and getting to the advanced programming feat, i LOVE the constructive criticism that goes into this. the actual passion that goes into it and joyfully talks as if wanting to work with the person thinking of this stuff
D&D official feats: Bonuses and single abilities to help build your character, be it in combat or for roleplaying. Worse D&D feats from D&D Beyond: So, here are 3 broken class features rolled into one feat. And you are also god. Edit: I also want to add that it's really cool to see Jacob give genuine feedback on how to make the feats could work, it's really awesome on his part.
Infinite bonus action glyphs of warding, so you can now cast concentration spells without the concentration anywhere for 200 GP. Can't complain about that.
I will say with the Tavern Brawler feat, the "After spending 1 day in a town or city, you know the whereabouts of just about every tavern, even if they're secret" is a pretty fun addition if slightly reworded. If you've ever played World of Darkness there is a similar thing you can take in that called Barfly and it leads to a lot of funny roleplay scenarios if you enjoy playing a bumbling drunkard.
The Homebrewed Tavern Brawler is just chronic alcoholism. Dude walks into a city and instantly has to figure out the optimal path he can take to hit every tavern in the city at least once before he leaves.
It's weird how sensitive people are being about the abused feat. Like yeah, it's dark humor, but It's hardly the worst thing in the world. I had to roll my eyes when he said the word problematic.
I like the idea of the aimbot feat, but it'd need reworks. Something like: "You no longer roll dice when making ranged or spell attacks. Instead, the attack automatically hits, but only deals half (or minimum) damage to the target". That way it's not a feat you take for crazy damage, but for if you have on-hit effects you really want to connect with. Could possibly make it a toggle too, to effectively turn any ranged attack or spell into a sort of Magic Missile at the cost of damage.
I liked this format a lot where you take the ones that are like "almost just there" and give a bunch of tips of how to improve them and make them actually viable, even if they are op but fun
As an outsider has never played D&D, I find these videos very entertaining and at the same time......I have no clue what is being talked about, but keep up the awesome videos.
@PhantomRoxas That isn't it. "Can't touch this" and "Ultra instinct" aren't the same feat, they have slightly different text (CTT has more abilities), they are written by two different users and CTT was written 7 months later. The guy that wrote CTT read UI and copycatted it for his own homebrew, it probably had nothing to do with Jacob's video
I can see the "Abused" feat working as a background maybe,it would need to be reworked but having a sort of traumatic experience that made you into literally a whole different person sounds like good roleplay
You can’t fireball your way out of every situation. But worry do not, in case of Jacob stopping we have options for casting. Suggestion is pretty simple, but needs to be recast. There is magic jar, if you want ro be Jacob, or clone if this one cannot be convinced. Yeah, I know some of those spells might seem dangerous, but we also have Animate Dead at worst case.
I'll never get tired of these feats giving you like 6 overpowered abilities, and then giving you unlimited wish. As if the unlimited uses of wish doesnt cover pretty much whatever else they'd give already
Honestly, I like abused. It actually checks out. I'm going to use it for my next self insert character... But I'd also add the ability to identify people's mood based on their footsteps & how they open doors -- useful in situations when listenig in on people or predicting who's hostile.

That's not what it says, but with 60d8 damage it might as well 😂
(It specifies that those who succeeded are unconscious, so maybe that was the writer's clumsy way of saying that this effect deals non-lethal damage and therefore the ones who made their save don't die.)
The idea that a childhood of regular beatings makes you resistant to bludgeoning damage is the funniest shit I've ever seen on this channel. I never knew that beating children gave them zenkai boosts.
OH noooooooo not the zenkai boosts
mate,
i was standing up and you put me back down in my chair
The more you know.
I imagine it would teach them how to roll with the punches
According to my parents, they were beaten as kids and turned out just fine!
I love how Jacobs response to most of these is like "We can fix this, this isnt terrible"........then came Abused and its like "WE CANNOT FIX THIS THIS IS NOT OK" which tbf is the correct response in this situation.
The part that got me the most is the one about having an advantage to being frightened and a disadvantage to being charmed. As in "All you want is to be loved, even if it's by horrible people who obviously don't have your best interest at heart." Not to trauma dump in a YT comment, but this sent me flying and brought back some memories. Gonna need a minute NGL 😂
Idk, I kinda love how accurate it is
this was made by a psych major with trauma idk i can feel it
or a person who went to therapy and copes with story building to the extreme
or alternatively, a creepypasta fan /neutral
We cannot fix this because of how accurate it is, sort of fitting with how many rouges start their back stories as batman anyway
Being abused giving you resistance to bludgeoning damage sent me into orbit
I love the phrasing "cannot suffer a mishap" in the God entry. Like you can't drop your phone in the toilet or get a flat tire while you're late for work.
And when a mishap does happen you enjoy it.
You trip and fall down the stairs? You land face first like the protagonist of a bad anime in some poor girls cleavage.
(Obviously this is sarcasm)
I think it's actually referring to the mishap in the Wish spell
@@Dwarfinator1 I *guess*, but that's less funny.
What was wild to me about Abused was that taking that feat could just rewrite your history. You were just a normal player character, maybe took some ability score improvements or other feats as you leveled up, then one day BAM you grew up as an abused child. Suddenly unlocking repressed memories and abilities tied to those memories?
I was thinking the same thing, like that’s a horror story waiting to be written.
That's called PTSD
thats genuinely how repressed trauma is for some people and the fact that such a batshit feat could legit be used for story shit is insane to me.

A feat in my table is maschosism, where you simply just get to take a damage resistance and gain inspiration when you take the damage
"Look at me... I'm the DM now" You and the DM now swap roles. You select one of the NPCs for them to play, and your PC is now an NPC.
And then the party just keeps using this until the campaign is so horribly derailed you can't even remember what it was at first
@@gilgameshdevourerofworldsg4101actually. The idea of a campaign where role of dm cycles through the players could be pretty funny (and very painful)

I feel so bad, but 'Abused' had me laughing at the sheer absurdity of it. Like WHAT.
It's awful
It's in bad taste
But it's so ludicrously, inherently, hilariously out of place that I genuinely think it stunned me irl for a few seconds
The Abused feat is really fucked up but that's what makes it so good. "You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage" would be a completely normal sentence in any other context but here it hits so hard because toghether with the feat's name it conjures up a very specific mental image. You just can't deny the feat's mechanics really capture the flavour its going for

Imagine being immune to unconscious - at 0 HP you can move and keep fighting, but you're still rolling death saves as per rules
That actually used to be a thing as a Barbarian only Feat back in 3.5
"Deathless Frenzy." You basically keep on swinging for +1 round after hitting zero hit-points or below. You can even extend the effect if you're somehow healing enough to go back over zero HP again.
@@LORDOFDORKNESS42 isn't it still a thing with one of the barbarian subclasses? the zealot I think?
Was also a class feature in 4e. Once per day, you refuse to fall unconscious until you fail a death save. Such a fitting thing for the Berserker subclass...
@@john7649 Oh, right yeah. That idea got recycled in the Zealot's capstone.
Don't actually play Barbarian or find them that interesting, so I'd forgotten. The Deathless Frenzy thing just stuck in my mind because there's a boss in Neverwinter Nights 2 that cheats by having that ability despite it otherwise not being in the game, and it annoyed me.
Just do a medicine check on yourself one round and then you can keep fighting as long as you want.

"unlimited bonus action versions of leveled spells and also double your cantrips known and also you learn spells cast on you and also it's a half feat" - wow that's not too bad
"Improvised weapons do 4d4 damage" WHAAAAAT INSANE THIS FIGHTER WOULD GO TOO CRAZY
I THOUGHT THIS!
The point is it tried doing something not done in a feat already, the tavern brawler just powered up an already existing feat.
Unlimited animate dead as a bonus action is funny
@@exine_1794and even that boring damage upgrade kinda makes sense because at least then it keeps going a few more levels
@@hugofontes5708 I’m not saying the change was entirely bad. But 4d4 is effectively a better 2d8. 4d4 for every improvised weapon at level 4 is a bit much. Though the reason these are so low down is because they are all op for no reason.
Tavern Brawler is taken when you want to fight the actual tavern. That's why it has the ability to find every tavern in town
Remove the combat parts, rename it to "Tavern Crawler" and it's almost a decent feat

When you take this feat, every time you would gain a feat afterwards, you may take two instead. However, also when you take this feat, you may not increase your ability scores in any way and may not select the Ability Score Improvement feature upon leveling up.

“Move over literally abuse”
This feels like it should become a meme.
Me when forced to face a physical manifestation of my darkest fear: 18:02
"Move over... Literally _abuse,_ I'm *God* now."
The "ultra instinct" feat sounded familiar and sure enough it was in the previous homebrew feat video as well, except under different name ("Can't touch this") and even more overpowered (it had stuff like +10 initiative on top of these abilities).
The funny thing is that "Can't touch this" was made 7 months after "Ultra instinct", by a different user. The text is mostly identical except for the added abilities. This means that someone found "Ultra instinct", figured it wasn't strong enough, said "I can do it better" and made "Can't touch this". That's hilarious to me
Yeah, seeing this one here made me think the guy who wrote Can't Touch This came back to edit the feat after seeing the old video since xp mentions ultra instinct on it at some point while discussing another feat that reminded him of dbz powerups
These videos have awoken the need to start homebrewing again, and I'm starting with "Jacob's Big Feat"
Don't tell him but someone put it up so I ask everyone who sees it to search and dislike it, he have to see it
"Jacob's Big Feet" sounds interesting too. Perhaps it could be related to increased walking speed/ignoring rough terrain/marching on a fast pace without the demerits.
@@the-noob-knightthere are currently 7 feats like this and they are upvoted as much as downvoted.
I checked yesterday and there was only one I guess he does have a lot of fans
For some reason I also made Jacob’s Big Feet spell. Downvote it please and maybe it’ll appear in the next one?
The moment he mentioned prohibition during the tavern brawler feat, all I could imagine was a prohibition cop having this feat to sniff out illegal bars. Truly, they would be brawling against the taverns
I love you being 1000% behind the creator of Arcane Prodigy running overpowered content for their players. Reminded me why I subscribed to you in the first place. You know what D&D is all about.
Nerd: you get advantage and proficiency on all knowledge checks unrelated to your character concept.
The way he said "I'm sorry, abused?" At 12:44 tho
Tavern Brawler: "My tavern senses are tingling!"
Ever drank so much you got powers?
More like
"My Alcoholist senses are tingling!"
should have just called it "alcoholic."
"I got bit by a radioactive tavern and now I have it's powers"
Genuinely a much less deserving feat for being torn into than Arcane Prodigy, and has potential for a punny name: Tavern Crawler.
I love how Jacob remembered he reacted to Can't Touch This but forgot he saw Advanced Programming back then too.

The “Tavern Brawler” feat could work if it was tweaked a little.
Barhopper
You spend a lot of time in taverns and bars and they’re the first thing you look for when entering a new town.
- You have advantage on Perception checks when you’re trying to find a tavern in town
- You know how to butter up a drunk; you can add 1d4 to your Persuasion rolls when your target has the Drunk status.
More conditional but maybe more balanced?
I feel like making it a half feat and also giving you a +1 con/cha could still work here
I feel like making it a half feat and also giving you a +1 con/cha could still work here
Maybe a little too conditional, I would leave it as knowing all the taverns in town and 1d4 to charisma checks, or opposed dex checks when target is drinking or in pub. (This way intimidate and slight of hand, preform also get boosted)
This way it is powerful but also situational.
I love the real critiques that try to help the homebrew like you did for Ultra Instinct. I would love to see a style of these videos that's mainly just that but focusing on the "middle of the road" feats or the ones yet unrated.
That "abused" feature sounded like such a huge coping mechanism for whoever created it... That's a lot of heavy lifting, man.

J: “see, if they want to run a game where they’re OP that’s awesome, gigachad moment.”

Also I made the feat, ‘Jacob’s Big Feet’ in your honor.
I had to check if you were being truthful and discovered there are already THREE feats named "Jacob's Big Feet".
The first makes you cast Thunderwave with every step.
The second makes you the DM.

Sometimes your game design skill outclasses your sense of tact
Sometimes, you write from experience and sometimes experience disturbs people.

@@BlackHiltDefinitely depends on your table, for sure. I'd also never introduce it without a proper "session zero" level discussion about traumas, because some players might find it legitimately triggering.

Ngl, the Abused feat was very funny and thought out. I likey!
that wizard with Arcane Prodigy be throwing out fireballs like crazy
I like the idea of "low-level character with a broken feat among a party of high-level characters without broken feats." Like a level 5 Monk with Ultra Instinct with a level 10 party.
The monk would be immune to unconscious, e.g. immune to going down to a hit that doesn't outright kill him. He would probably still be too strong
@@exantiuse497 we at least know he would die in 5 days due to sleep deprivation and exhaustion (if he isn't a elf or war Forged). So that character is literally temporary in to most screwed way.

7:40 Here we can see the "DM's girlfriend" class ability: asking (and getting) feats that otherwise would be OP ^^
I read this in the most stereotypical British accent
Honestly, as someone who grew up in an abusive home, the abused feat is fucking hilarious.
Advanced Programming looks like a joke like the magic necklace that grants you an additional attunement slot but requires attunement itself.
It's the true strike of feats
To be fair, they never say how fast "an extremely fast rate" is, but depending on the group and DM I'm sure you could get a fair bit out of a learning speed bonus. Got a day or two of downtime and want to research about an area/person/monster? Well, I learn stuff really fast now, yo DM what did I find out?
It's still not good... but it's not net 0, I guess?
The one use I can see is to bank a feat for later, so you can get two high level feats instead of one low and one high level one.
The attunement thing is because there's feats that give a bonus per attuned item, so one more improves that bonus even if the item does nothing.
Advanced Programming would make sense if most feats had level requirements (which was added and then removed from the 6e play test). By delaying a feat you can get an extra one above the next level gate.
Arcane Prodigy actually gives me a great idea:
-Prerequisite: Wizard.
-Increase your Int by 1.
-When a wizard spell is cast within 60 feet of you and you and you are not Blinded or Deafened, you may attempt to memorize the spell. Roll an Arcana check with a DC of 8 + (the spells level times 2). You may roll with advantage, if you are one of the targets of the spell. On a success, you may add the spell to your list of prepared spells. During the next long rest, remove all spells memorized this way, except for one.
-You may transcribe this spell into your spellbook following the usual rules for transcribing.

No, no, no-then there’s no bars left. You find the smallest guy in town and you make him a deal to run everyone else out of business in exchange for a cut, and then you pick em off one at a time as you need money.
As long as the alcohol was purchased before prohibition it was a-ok to sell it. The authorities wouldn’t be able to do anything and you’d probably anger the mob biiiiig time

I like how Ultra Instinct prevents you from sleeping lmao. Giving Immunity to the unconscious prevents you from long resting.
Unless you're an elf.
@@muntuku obviously
It is also not immunity to death. If you can't get knocked unconscious you simply skip rolling for death saves and go straight to dead.
@@backonlazer791No. You still roll death saving throws at 0hp. Unconsciousness is not a requisite. Barbarians have this exact feature. You do not die instantly.
@@chrismanuel9768 The Zealot barbarian feature does not grant immunity to unconsciousness, they simply don't go unconscious, there's a difference. There are many elementals and some other creatures that are immune to the unconscious condition. Are you saying they aren't supposed to die at 0 HP?
Tavern Brawler just made me imagine Toph's Seismic sense effect. One step into a city and it pings all the taverns

9:00 I'd prefer to go down the more savage route. Right infront of the tavernkeeper just yell at "I am aware of every single tavern in the known and unknown universe, and yet I cannot find one here" and just watch their business crumble away as you deny their right to tavernship
It doesn't give your lies the power to override reality, it just means you can find anywhere that sells booze to drink on the premises.
Honestly if you want an Ultra Instinct thing in dnd, you should make it a high level optional feature for Monks (like the ones from Tasha's) and make them spend a bunch of Ki to gain +5 to AC and Dex saves, but roll a Con save at the end or become stunned
I would have it be a sort of avatar state thing where it only activates if you are about to be downed. Then all of your remaining Ki points get used up, you remaint at 1 hp, and you are in ultra instinct a number of turns depending on how much Ki you spent.
Works once per long rest and is mandatory. Meaning you cant not use it if you go down to 0 and have it available.
Could even add a bit if exhaustion after it wears off.
@tobiasbayer4866
Maybe get rid of the immunity to a bunch of stuff and instead have the autonomic fighting work regardless(so you can dodge/counter even when unconcious, but you are still unconcious and can't choose to move/act). That way it's more like spider-man's body moving without his soul against Dr Strange, very cool to describe but clearly very situational and less useful than retaining full control.
@@scragar
True thats a good point. Maybe combine both? Have one be an activateable combat ability, maybe while at low health, and one be a passive for when you get downed.
Although at that point it would do way to much for a feat and would maybe be better off as just a monk subclass.

My favorite part about the tavern brawler feat here is that it says that after spending 1 day in a town you automatically know the location of every bar in the town. It doesn’t say you need to spend any time or effort looking for them, after 24 hours you just have an update of locations of bars on a Bethesda map in your brain
listening to this video and getting to the advanced programming feat, i LOVE the constructive criticism that goes into this. the actual passion that goes into it and joyfully talks as if wanting to work with the person thinking of this stuff
As a forever DM, I’m excited for the day one of my players decides to take “Jacob’s Big Feat”
D&D official feats: Bonuses and single abilities to help build your character, be it in combat or for roleplaying.
Worse D&D feats from D&D Beyond: So, here are 3 broken class features rolled into one feat. And you are also god.
Edit: I also want to add that it's really cool to see Jacob give genuine feedback on how to make the feats could work, it's really awesome on his part.
Wet Bar In Some Guy's Basement: *exists*
Tavern Brawler: *kool-aid man bursts through the wall* I CAN SMELL YOU OUT! I AM THE GOD OF TAVERNS!
I immediately thought of Rocko, from Undergrads 😂 "It has a bar in the basement! A BAR! In the BASEMENT!!"
Spenser co-video!! I love that you cheered on a fun, unbalanced design just because the creator recognized that's exactly what it was.
The hypothetical “three feats” feat should be called “Yard”
"Upon reaching 7th level you can turn a number of 3rd level spells or lower equal to your spellcasting ability mod into cantrips"
Wizard approves
Warlock also approves. They might actually do something besides Eldritch Blast!
So at 7th level, I can cast Fireball and Catnap as bonus actions, sweet!
Infinite bonus action glyphs of warding, so you can now cast concentration spells without the concentration anywhere for 200 GP. Can't complain about that.
Honestly, if you dropped that down to only include 1st level spells, it wouldn't be that unbalanced.
That would honestly be playable. Wait...Magic Missile as a Bonus Action is just 4e lol
13:59 That 'master beefy no' was so genuine, like a long time friend of the party completely betrayed them by chucking the mcguffin into a lake.
I now need a homebrew that's called 'Jacob's Big Feat' and it just says 'I become the DM'. not you become, I. Because it's how it's meant to be.
Someone else chooses the feat and warps you to their game where you are, in fact, now the DM
Please more Spencer, the way you two vibe together is wonderful 🥰
I will say with the Tavern Brawler feat, the "After spending 1 day in a town or city, you know the whereabouts of just about every tavern, even if they're secret" is a pretty fun addition if slightly reworded. If you've ever played World of Darkness there is a similar thing you can take in that called Barfly and it leads to a lot of funny roleplay scenarios if you enjoy playing a bumbling drunkard.
I was not prepared for that amazing moist critical impression
If I wasn't watching I would have thought he spliced in a Charlie clip
For real! I'm surprised you're the only comment I've seen mentioning it lol 16:03
The Homebrewed Tavern Brawler is just chronic alcoholism. Dude walks into a city and instantly has to figure out the optimal path he can take to hit every tavern in the city at least once before he leaves.
It's weird how sensitive people are being about the abused feat. Like yeah, it's dark humor, but It's hardly the worst thing in the world. I had to roll my eyes when he said the word problematic.
I like the idea of the aimbot feat, but it'd need reworks. Something like:
"You no longer roll dice when making ranged or spell attacks. Instead, the attack automatically hits, but only deals half (or minimum) damage to the target".
That way it's not a feat you take for crazy damage, but for if you have on-hit effects you really want to connect with. Could possibly make it a toggle too, to effectively turn any ranged attack or spell into a sort of Magic Missile at the cost of damage.
I liked this format a lot where you take the ones that are like "almost just there" and give a bunch of tips of how to improve them and make them actually viable, even if they are op but fun
As an outsider has never played D&D, I find these videos very entertaining and at the same time......I have no clue what is being talked about, but keep up the awesome videos.
I just rewatched the first Lowest Rated Feats video, and I realized that "Ultra Instinct" is just "Can't Touch This" with a new name.
It feels like the person definitely watched that video, so Jacob call Colton about "Full Power 100%" and decided to rename their feat first.
@PhantomRoxas That isn't it. "Can't touch this" and "Ultra instinct" aren't the same feat, they have slightly different text (CTT has more abilities), they are written by two different users and CTT was written 7 months later. The guy that wrote CTT read UI and copycatted it for his own homebrew, it probably had nothing to do with Jacob's video
That 'Abused' feat is actually kind of creative.
4:41 Spencer's look of 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed' is perfection.
I can see the "Abused" feat working as a background maybe,it would need to be reworked but having a sort of traumatic experience that made you into literally a whole different person sounds like good roleplay
I'm glad this is the video that brought me back to your channel, 'cuz the last one I saw (yeah about two years ago) was great

You can’t fireball your way out of every situation.
But worry do not, in case of Jacob stopping we have options for casting. Suggestion is pretty simple, but needs to be recast. There is magic jar, if you want ro be Jacob, or clone if this one cannot be convinced.
Yeah, I know some of those spells might seem dangerous, but we also have Animate Dead at worst case.
