Looking for Feedback on...

• Expertise, Fighting Style, and Martial Artist: Should Kool-aid Theft be allowed? Base game does have Martial Adept and Magic Initiate... Plus multiclassing sucks. Metamagic feat?

• Grappler ~

• Hardened

• Intimidating Presence

• Lightning Reflexes- Precident in Marking, DMG 271

• Lucky ~

• Titan's Grip

• Spell Savant- One more big slot in exchange for higher DC/Hit on all spells; interesting trade-off?

• Spellslinger- Really scary feat, but I think it could be balanced based on what I know about monsters and warlocks...

• Feats which grant additional attacks: Charger (CB), Close Quarters Archer (AB), Cunning Opportunist (CR), Crossbow Expert (AB), Dueling Master (AB), Great Weapon Master (CB), Lighting Reflexes (CR), Mage Slayer (CR), Martial Adept (CR), Polearm Master (CR+AB), Sentinel (CR+CR)
