Latest Unearthed Arcana Brings New Feats

The latest UA post has brought forth several new feats for players to take.

Thematically, there are a couple things going on:

A lot of them are a sort of "light multiclass" option. There's a feat to pick up a single Eldritch Invocation from Warlocks (you can also take this as a Warlock, increasing the number of invocations you can have,) as well as one that gives you an artificer spell and cantrip (and in true artificer fashion, allows you to swap cantrips when you level up.)

There are also a couple that seem tied to the Feywild and Shadowfell, allowing you to cast spells associated with those domains.

Overall, some pretty good stuff, nothing crazily overpowered.

I'm really curious to see if they release a new Xanathar's-style book. I was saying that a while ago, when we got a huge assortment of subclasses, but as of yet, nothing has materialized (though two of those subclasses showed up in Mythic Odysseys of Theros.)

I'm glad to see continued mentions of Artificers - I think it's been a pretty successful addition to the game, and I'm hoping that we can get it added to a setting-agnostic sourcebook.

Interestingly, there's also a feat called "Gunner" that gives you proficiency in firearms and basically works like Crossbow expert in terms of ignoring the loading property and being able to fire in melee range.
