Feats: changes, rulings, or additions

This is a list of feat changes and additional feats added to the World(s). Please let me know, if you think a feat needs to be rebalanced or want to have an official ruling on a feat.

Official Feats

Durable (dnd 1 playtest).
Prerequisite: Constitution 13 or higher

Show spoiler

Hardy and resilient, you gain the following benefits:

• Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Defy Death. You have Advantage on Death Saving Throws.
• Speedy Recovery. As a Bonus Action, you can expend one of your Hit Dice, roll the die, and regain a number of Hit Points equal to the roll plus your Constitution Modifier.

Heavy Armor Master (CNNF).
Rebalanced to reduces all damage types by 3.
Sharpshooter.
The first two benefits work with a ranged attack made with any weapon, not just ranged weapons. Throwing a weapon counts as a "ranged attack", but that doesn't make the weapon a "ranged weapon". So, the third effect that says "ranged weapon" doesn't work with thrown weapons. Sage Advice Ruling
Shield Master (dnd playtest).

Show spoiler

• Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Shield Bash. If you attack a creature within 5 feet of you as part of the Attack Action and hit with a Melee Weapon, you can immediately bash the target with your Shield if it’s equipped, forcing the target to make a Strength Saving Throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed save, you knock the target Prone or push it 5 feet away. You can use this benefit only once on each of your turns.
• Interpose Shield. If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity Saving Throw to take only half damage, you can use your Reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the Saving Throw and are wielding a Shield, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.

Lucky.
Doesn't effect downtime sessions.
