    Doesn't dim light give disadvantage, is that what you mean by -5?

    Yes this would reduce the value of Skulker; my skill tricks for Medicine encroach on Healer too. But honestly, I don't care. I really don't like those kind of feats being in direct competition with "optimal" feat/ASI choices, and players feeling like they need to accept making themselves worse in order to get unusual or flavorful abilities.

    Maybe, but I'm trying to avoid massive blocks of rules text too. In the case of the "false position" one, I'm leery of stuff that implies that enemies will take a certain course of action. It just gets funky; how compelled are they to follow it? What actions would they take? It just gets annoyingly murky.

    Interesting option! Like mirror image, or like blur?
