I guess meat shield still works?

and that other npc is using that to use the bird person as a human shield

to be more specific, a set of circumstances is causing the bird person to take on all the damage another npc takes in their place, regardless of where they are

hm, although it kind of changes what it means in context

hm...that could work.

random weird question: For a campaign, I want an elf to explain to a bird-person that they are a human shield. Except...well, the phrase "human" shield makes no sense for them to use. Any ideas on something less specific?

Well thanks for the ideas everyone, gotta go.

(the ninjas basically can teleport when they uncanny dodge a few times per day, doing the log substitution thing)

maybe I can have him learn fade away from watching the ninjas that the party is working with

he's a gnome

hmm

but it was just the artificier (who prides themselves as being an inventor, always making something new and then moving onto the next shiny project) that seems like they wouldn't benefit from those

I feel like I already have a decent selection of stuff for the martials/half casters in the group

yep yep, and yuuki's option isn't bad

though I'd prefer to avoid something like resiliant con

yes, exactly

free bonus feat

jk no they're cool

utter murderhobos

The kinds of feats I was thinking about giving the others are things like charger, defensive duelist, mounted combatant

homebrew feats aren't off the table

Not a hard need, but it would feel a bit awkward if one person gets an item while others get shown neat tricks

Any ideas for feats that feel "teachable"? Preferably by high level fighters/rogues (ninjas)/maybe a cleric

I'm a DM for a dnd 5e homebrew campaign and I'm thinking about giving my players some feats as a reward from a country they're helping. Basically a few of the high-level characters will show the characters a trick or two. I have a few ideas for what to give them, but I have an artificer (artillerist) and I'm trying to think about what options would make sense to present, and that he'd actually want.

Well I'm a trend breaker >:U
