You have obsessively focused your training on a single, narrow aspect of your physical or mental abilities to the point that it has started to become detrimental to other aspects of your physical or mental well-being.
- Choose one ability score. You gain +3 to the chosen score to a maximum of 20, and you gain proficiency in one skill associated with that ability. If you already have proficiency in the chosen skill, you gain expertise in it instead.
- Choose a different ability score. That score is permanently reduced by 2, down to a minimum of 1.

Posted Oct 7, 2018Just wanted to come up with a somewhat balanced way to get +3 to an ability score with a single ASI. I think the net gain of +1 ability and 1 skill proficiency is weak by feat standards, but is offset by the fact that you can simply take a -2 penalty to a dump stat that you don't really care about, which emphasizes the strength of the +3 to an ability depending on the character. This could be a terrible feat for some characters, and overpowered for others.
Any ideas on how to incorporate a penalty into a feat that offsets an ability score increase of +3?
