The new Enclave Magic feat for DnD makes you even better at working with beasts. Sure, you can replace the impactful parts with Find Familiar, but should that stop you?

Dragonscarred is such a cool feat, I just wish that the ability scores for the background/feat combo made worked together at all. DnD is not a game built for you to have high scores in several abilities.

The current lack of background options is more of an issue than the way that backgrounds work. As we get more options, the restriction will stop being frustrating and it will become more interesting.

The new zhentarim ruffian feat for dnd is absolutely fantastic. Cool flavor, good mechanics, and it leads into Zhentarim Tactics which build upon it really well.

The new Tyro of the Gauntlet feat for DnD is basically useless. Protection from problems that don’t exist plus help doing a thing that almost never happens in 5e.

The new DnD feat PurpleDragon Took is objectively great, but it does have weird implications for Heriic Inspiration.

The new DnD feat Lords Alliance Agent is a great option for martial characters, giving you a useful offensive option and a useful defensive option.

Harper Agent isn’t amazing, but heroes of faerun offers several ways to improve the Help action, which is an interesting buff to MotM Hobgoblins and to the Mastermind Rogue.

The best level split for a DnD Paladin/warlock depends on what specific things you want from each class. There isn’t a definitive universal answer here.

I don’t assume magic items in my dnd build guides because I can’t assume that they’re available in every dnd game. If a build doesn’t work without a specific magic item, then the build isn’t useful for most players.

DnD players: being good at rolling a d20 is the shortest path to being effective in DnD. If you get really good, you don’t need to optimize!

But most of us can’t control how well our dice roll, so maybe character optimization is still the answer.
