Posted Oct 10, 2024When examining traditional tanking classes such as the barbarian, I noticed that, outside of the new world tree barbarian, and the ancestral guardian barbarian, soft taunt options are extremely limited. I sought to remedy this by making a simple, 2024-Player's-Handbook-designed, tanking soft taunt feat, that will hopefully incentivize your enemies to attack you, instead of the squishies! Additional benefits are up for grabs by taking this with the barbarian, as enemies have advantage against you with reckless attack anyway. This is also kind of a downside, as it makes the feat less useful, but you still get the bonus action single target taunt. I hope that this can allow lots of different builds to be able to tank, and the requirements are pretty low; level 4+ (general feat, not an origin feat), and Constitution of 13+. It also gives +1 Constitution, to remain consistent with the 2024 rules. Formatted to match the 2024 Player's Handbook. As always with homebrew, check with your DM first. Have fun!
