Posted Mar 31, 2025This should not have been changed. You ruined the feat. Thanks for trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

Posted Aug 9, 2025Good choice to nerf, originally in 2014 this was slightly OP and easily abused.

Posted Oct 22, 2025Technically, this feat has been nerfed in one sense — but for Rogues with Reliable Talent, it’s also a quiet buff. Since Initiative is now a Dexterity check and the Alert feat grants proficiency in it, Reliable Talent would apply. That means a Rogue’s Initiative roll can’t be lower than a 10 before modifiers — giving them a remarkably steady hand at the start of every fight.
