Re: costume race feats help.
I see a lot of good ideas, but they’re still very rough. I’m gonna give you some general advice before addressing some specific feats.
General tip 1: You should always strive to fulfil the concept of your feat with as little complication as possible. 5e design generally assumes that more moving parts is worse. Many of my specific comments will be based on this.
General tip 1a: In accordance with tip 1, you should avoid level restrictions unless absolutely necessary. Level-restricted feats are a 3.5 thing, no feat in core 5e has them.
General tip 2: For any feats you make, you should question whether they actually change your playstyle or provide you with new options. If all it does is make you better at the exact same things you already do, they have no reason to exist. Flying Caster and Brute are guilty of this.
General tip 3: Make sure you apply the game terms correctly. Words in the game don’t always mean what they do in normal speech, and so a rule that may seem clear at first sight may be unclear in practical use. Shadow Caster and Ancient Blood suffer from this. I’ll elaborate on those below.
General tip 4: Avoid making the player count rounds. There are no features in base 5e that last 2, 3, etc. rounds, because counting rounds is annoying. It’s usually one round or one minute.
Shadow Caster
The term ‘hidden’ implies that you’re using stealth, which I don’t think it what you mean. ‘Shadows’ are also not a mechanical term, so it’s unclear whether it works in dim light or only in darkness. See the shadow monk for how to word this kind of thing.
Ancient blood
For one, low-light vision doesn’t exist. Secondly, the benefits you get from your race aren’t abilities, they’re traits. So what exactly can you choose? Any one trait? That's definitely not worth spending a full feat on. It might be if you get all traits of the chosen race, minus the ability score increases.
Hasty spell
So many needless complications. Why the lowest spell slot only rule? Why two different ways to limit the number of uses? Why so many moving parts in the Con save rule? Either scrap the Con save mechanic and make it multiple uses, or scrap the multiple uses and base it entirely off the Con save mechanic. In which case the Con save should be easier to pass initially and much simpler. See Relentless Rage.
Final strike
Come on, this one is just dumb. It will do nothing but totally invalidate the final boss fight, thus ruining the game for everyone else. Or, if the boss survives, you become useless for the rest of the fight. This will not be fun for anyone involved. No such thing should exist.
I think you misunderstood how CR works. CR is not equivalent to level. A CR 7 creature is MUCH MORE powerful than a 10th level character. If you want to empower the familiar, look at the bonuses that the companion of the original Beast Master gets.Your familiar grows in power. You gain the ability to summon a stronger familiar. Your familiar can be any creature with a CR of your level -3. It can not be huminod or have a natural intelligence over 13. If you have picked the perveus ability the CR of both familiars must equal you level- 3.
Improved flight
There’s no reason to get this. You’re not gonna make a Str-based Aarakocra, and medium armour isn’t worth a full feat. I guess it might be worthwhile for clerics and druids if you add +1 Dex.
Flying caster
Why the ‘see the target’ part? Don’t you almost always need to see the target anyways? That aside, this is just a supremely boring feat. It changes nothing about your play style.
Brute
Crazy powerful. Bonus actions are irrelevant for many classes, so for a fighter this is half a feat to get +12 DPR all the time. Bugbears are also not known for having natural armour. I’d scrap this one completely. The NPC bugbear’s brute feature isn’t interesting enough to make a feat for.
Wing buffets
Cool idea, but it’s weak due to the low DC. If something costs your action, make sure to compare it with other action uses, like the multiple attacks that a high level fighter can make. I would scrap the level restriction, upgrade the saving DC to the normal 8 + prof + Str, and make the damage scale: damage equal to your Str mod initially, then +1d6 at 5th, 11th and 17th. And remove the half damage on successful save, because automatic at-will damage can be problematic.
Dragons Breath
Should have a different name than the racial trait that it upgrades, to avoid confusion. Also needlessly complicated. Just give one more use per short rest, it won’t break anything. Dragon’s Breath also uses d6s, not d8s.
Mixed Draconic Ancestry
Cool stuff, only the reaction to get resistance seems unnecessary. Just give the resistance for free. Compare the Infernal Constitution feat.
Brewmaster
While fun, this one is pretty weak. You get a tool proficiency, a poison identification ability that can be done much more effectively by Detect Poison and Disease, and immunity to three poisons, out of the hundreds that might exist. What I would do is, instead of the poison immunity as written, provide the dwarf’s poison resistance if the character doesn’t already have it, or full poison immunity if they do. Also just let the identification work like Detect Poison and Disease.
Lingering Invisibility
Cool, but too weak for a full feat. Make it once per short rest and it might be used by rogues. Or maybe once per casting of the Invisibility spell, so that Arcane Tricksters get more use out of it.
Dwarven Enemies
This one is kind of messy with the three different parts. Also a bit odd that it grants the exact same benefits against giants and goblins, who are vastly different. I would provide two parts: 1. An extra-damage ability for use against giants and hobgoblins (since those have high HP), maybe modelled after the goblin's Fury of the Small. (Including the level scaling. It shouldn't be an arbitrary number like 8.) And 2. a bonus action attack when you kill a goblin or hobgoblin, since those tend to come in large groups.
Drow Noble
Somewhat unclear. Are these once per long rest each? I would add a +1 to Cha to make this worthwhile as a full feat.
Arachnomancer
What does “you must meet the requirements for that spider to be polymorphed into” mean? A spider is a CR 0 creature. If you’re supposed to be able to turn into other types of spiders, you need to name those. You should also avoid arbitrary numbers like “3 times a day”. Make it once per short rest, or maybe a number of times per long rest equal to your Cha mod.
Burn! Burn! Burn!
One, Burning Hands is not a cantrip. Two, the fire damage thing is unclear and very overpowered if interpreted liberally. The way I read it, if you’ve taken 30 fire damage since your last rest, all fire spells you cast deal 30 extra damage. It’s also a little odd that the cantrip runs off Cha, seeing as a goblin’s highest mental stat is usually Int.
Draconic Heritage
The breath weapon is terribly weak. Why not just say “you get the Breath Weapon trait like a dragonborn”? Even then, it’s a very weak feat. I would give the claws, the breath weapon, the unarmoured defence from Draconic Hide and resistance to one element all as one feat.
Orcish Rage
Why the first round of combat? Seems very unlikely to come up. I’d just give a bonus action attack when you kill someone, just like Great Weapon Master.
Orc Fire
What’s the obsession with getting elemental resistance for X turns? There’s nothing wrong with just giving the resistance. While the damage benefit is very potent (+8 damage per target with a Fireball), I actually think it’s balanced out by the fact that orcs are unsuited to being casters. So good work there.
Snakes Skills
You can take the Skilled feat and choose these three skills. So this feat has no reason to exist.

Re: costume race feats help.
A lot of solid changes, they're looking pretty good now. Just a few more attention points.
Shouldn't the extra damage be against giants and bugbears, not giants and hobgoblins?Dwarven enemies
Perquisites: dwarf
You gain the following abilities
When attacking a hobgoblin or giant you gain an extra 1d8 damage from you weapon or spell.this increases to 2d8 at 5th, 3d8 11th and 4d8 17th.
When you drop a goblin or hobgoblin to 0 hit points you may take a bonus action to move up to 10ft and attack another goblin or hobgoblin.
Either way, the extra damage should be once per round, otherwise it will stack up enormously on characters with 3+ attacks per round.
Are Spider Climb and Speak with Animals once per long rest or at-will?Arachnomancer
Perquisites: female drow or variant drow half elves
You gain the following spells to drow magic: poison spray, spider climb and speak with animals but speak with animal can only be used on arachnids and scorpions.
At 10th level you can true polymorph into a spider(spider, giant spider, phase spider,swarm of spiders, drider, chitine, ect..) a number of time per long rest equil to you charisma modifier. You must meet the requirements for that spider to be polymorphed into.
The second part of this is monstrously powerful. Polymorph gives you the full HP of the creature you turn into on top of your own, just like Wild Shape. This makes it immensely useful in combat. Turning into a CR 3 phase spider up to five times per day? That's incredible, that's as powerful as a 9th level moon druid, and you can do it at level 3. Turning into a CR 6 drider up to five times per day at level 6? That's just insane.
Given that this is a feat, not a major class feature, it should be limited to be no more powerful than the wild shaping of a non-moon druid. So something like: When you get the feat, you can turn into a spider (CR 0) or giant wolf spider (CR 1/4). Starting at 4th level, you can turn into a chitine (CR 1/2) or a swarm of spiders, which has the stats of a swarm of insects (CR 1/2). Starting at 8th level, you can turn into a giant spider (CR 1). This matches the wild shaping abilities of the base druid.

Re: costume race feats help.

Re: costume race feats help.
Here's my thoughts on the new stuff!
Improved familiar
Looking at this one again, it still has a few problems.
- The ability to cast Find Familiar once per day without expending a spell slot is pointless. Find Familiar is always cast as a ritual because the casting time is an hour and the ritual merely adds 10 minutes to that. I'd take that part out for simplicity.
- If you want to allow any non-humanoid creature of CR 1/4 or lower as the familiar, it has to be subject to DM permission. Allowing the use of pixies as familiars will destroy your campaign, and there are probably other creatures like that. If you don't want to rely on DM arbitration, it's safer to stick to the options that Pact of the Chain offers.
- Increasing your familiar's power is easily the strongest option, and in fact I think it's too strong to grant alongside a +1 stat increase. It's as strong as the unrevised Beast Master's animal companion, but more versatile (wider selection of creatures), able to be resummoned faster when killed, and able to act more autonomously. It's just too much. I think you'll need to split the feat in two. Have one called Improved Familiar that gives +1 to casting stat and a choice from the other three options, and another feat called Empowered Familiar (or something like that) which gives the power-increasing option as a full feat (no +1). Also you shouldn't be able to make two empowered familiars: if you have Empowered Familiar and the split familiar option, only one of the two is empowered, the other is normal.
Final strike
Do you make a single attack or do you take the Attack action? Not entirely clear.
I'm a little hesitant about the yoyoing shenanigans this might invite, but I guess it's be ok if your players aren't cheesy. (Yoyoing is when someone drops to 0 HP and is brought back up by a small amount of healing over and over again.)
Cantrip collector
It sounds like you're FORCED to take this feat at the first opportunity. Like, everyone HAS to take this feat. What you meant is: you can only take this feat at level 1 if you're a variant human, or with your first ASI if you're another race.
That said, why exactly is it restricted like that? Why can't you learn a bunch of cantrips later in your career?
Split spheres
I really like this one, but I suggest you put a limit on how many different radiuses you can make, maybe equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. As is, you could split a fireball into six mini-fireballs with a radius of 5 foot each, targeting six different creatures anywhere within 150 feet of yourself, with no risk of hitting your allies. That's a little too convenient for such a powerful spell.
Goblins Enemies and Giants Grudge
The second benefit on both of these still reads "attack another goblin or hobgoblin".
Truly giant
This is a hefty benefit. You double your damage dice, gaining 4-8 extra damage per attack, in addition to some peripheral benefits. Even with the inconveniences that come with being large, I think this deserves to be a full feat instead of a half feat.Last edited by Lalliman; 2018-07-17 at 12:27 PM.
