Since it is not specified in the feats description, how would you determine the maximum range for the lip reading portion of the observant feat. Is there a Maximum distance for seeing clearly that i missed in the PHB? Share your ideas please
• If you can see a creature’s mouth while it is speaking a language you understand, you can interpret what it’s saying by reading its lips.
You can see to a range of about 3 miles, but that doesn't mean you can see clearly in detail for that range.
Eagle Totem Barbs can see out to a mile clearly and in detail per their ability...
So in general, "seeing in detail" would be about what humans can see irl... so... roughly 60 feet, maybe 120 if you have perfect vision? (I don't have perfect vision irl, so I can't be certain). Just, apply a little common sense and you should be fine.

Normal real world lip reading range is 3-6', though that doesn't require perfect vision.
So somewhere between 60-120 feet and 3-6 feet.
Lips are little but the character is observant.
Call it quits at around 30 feet at DMs discretion?
