Heavily Armored is a feat that isn’t sexy and seems pretty basic. For many classes it simply is unnecessary, which is another reason why it gets a bit of a bad rap. So is this feat one of the weaker choices? Is it situational only? When should a player look at heavily armored (not to …
This was a topic that has been asked of both The Business and I multiple times, and so it was one that was interesting to tackle. Braden’s been involved with TTRPGs for so long that it can be hard for him to remember what those first campaigns were like. But because he understands so many …
