The jokes in this video poking fun at some of the feats are in the sake of good fun. Most of the feats are seriously awesome and this dumb video shouldn’t stop you from considering them.

Any dm that actually makes a person talk for 10 minutes to use inspiring leader is a monster. Just throw out some opening lines and leave it at that

"You could just do that with Alter Self." Which I would have... If all the good spells weren't gone!

I only take the "Lucky" feat so I can turn my 1's into 2's.

I actually gave my Wizard the actor feat. Because he was the serial killer that my own party was hunting down and i needed to fake my persona litterally all the time. It worked so good that I was killed by a monster before i was ever caught

It stung MY eyes when he threw the G-fuel in his face.

No one: Jacob: I'll use wakeup powder as makeup powder

I think you have now become one of those specific weird warnings on packages "do not put g fuel in eyes"

My favorite feat is the tough feat...especially on classes that you'd think wouldn't have them "Okay so I fireball your level 7 wizard twice you take 60 damage and you're down" "Im not down." "How you're a wizard" "I Have 73 hit points because I not only took the tough feat but I have an 18 in Con" "Why?" "Because buff wizard thats why"

Inspiring Leader is good at the beginning of the day at higher levels NGL. It's not like you need to make a 10 minute speech in real life.

"Grappler takes two turns and restrains you as well" This is why god invented Touch Spells, Jerry.

It kind of de-feats the purpose to have these around in the first place...

Wow, guest director Quentin Tarantino did a great job with this video.

I love actor, i take it to round off my charisma as a mask of many faces Warlock :)

Resilient Constitution to improve your chance at not going blind when you snort G Fuel through your eyes

If i played a dwarf, one of the only feats i would take would be tavern brawler so i can use my beard as a improvised weapon

"Inspiring Leader and Dungeon Delver Bad" *panic due to having both in our campaign that lowkey have carried our asses*

It kills me whenever jacob and co just break out laughing in the middle of a skit

Actor feat was clutch for my espionage warlock.

Inspiring Leader is actually good, though. That’s saved the lives of my party numerous times. It’s like have 1-4 levels of HP for free at the cost of 10 mins.

"the only way I can become powerful in this game is to consume pure raw energy" me: Don't you dare

I used Actor for a Vhuman rogue with the charlatan background, he was pretending to be a celebrity for most of the campaign. It's fun but definitely situational.

All feats can be used in some convoluted way to ruin a storyarch~

These videos are made so much better by Colton's acting (or lack thereof, as the case often is)

Inspiring Leader was really good for my Lore Bard in my 1-20 campaign. I wrote a little tale for each time I used the feat and everything it was fun

The first feat i took in my first DnD character was Inspiring Leader. I remember writing paragraphs of inspiring speeches to use it. My first speech was received very well. But next session when i was about to use it again, the DM cut me off and said “dude are you really gona waste people time with speeches?”. I never took that feat again And no, i was making sure that speeches wouldnt take too long. They took like 4 minutes. I remember that after my first speech the other players clapped and cheered me for it as they liked it very much. But the DM was kinda a guy that only interested in moving the game forward. He wouldnt give players much room for roleplay or goof around. As this was my first DnD game ever, i couldnt really do much then obey the DM basically. We were playing Rise of Tiamat btw and my character was a Oath of Conquest Dwarf Paladin. Halfway through the game, he purposefully killed my character saying that “if you cant do a proper dwarf/scottish accent then dont bother playing as a dwarf”. Yeah he was a massive dick...

Seeing the “5,000 gp reward” for the wizard on his shirt made me think that it might actually be really fun for a party of adventurers to be paid to track down and kill this seemingly unkillable character.

Skilled is actually one of my favorite feats for fighters since they get so many ASIs, so using one for flavor stuff is really nice

Inspiring leader is genuinely one of the best feats in the game. I took it as a wizard with a +2 charisma mod on my very first campaign at level 4. We're level 9 now, and it's saved both me and other party members multiple times. It also gives some very cute charming roleplay potential with the speeches, it's my favourite feat in the game.

watching Jacob rinse his eyes whilst concluding the G-Fuel ad was f'in hilarious. Saving the timestamp: 3:14

I have a home rule for the 'Inspiring leader' feat. You either say "I make an inspiring speech". and that would take 10 in-game minutes (or less because- well the video said it best). OR, the player can roleplay their speech, and they do NOT have to take 10 minutes to do it.

Inspiring Leader is a good feat for NPCs, like a Guard Captain or General. Like say a town is under siege by a band of Orcs or something and the part is teaming up with the town guard to defend it. And the captain has this feat. Inspiring Leader is a good way for the DM to go “Hey guys, this is a huge fight coming up, so here’s a few more HP.”

I left a like because he suffered for us this video. Blindness sponsored by G-Fuel

Inspiring leader is actually very good. It’s an almost resourceless boost the the parties hitpoints, potentially multiple times a day. It’s almost like taking a half effective tough feat, but then also giving that same HP to the party. Can potentially be placed on summoned steeds, familiars, planar bound allies, and any angry mob you incite in a towns courtyard.

A member of our party successfully grappled a lich for 4 turns, limiting them to verbal spells and allowing me, the party paladin, to wail on them freely. R.I.P. Omega, the world would have been doomed without your sacrifice.

Yo Inspiring Leader is actually really good. You can do it at the end of a Short or Long Rest and nowhere does it say you need to stay still to give the speech, so you can apply it while looting or travelling. The amount of Temp HP might not seem high, but if you're reapplying it throughout an adventuring day the number of free Hit Points adds up. Say you're a level 12 Bard with a +5 CHA mod and you're using it on 4-person party. That's 68hp, effectively a whole extra person's worth of hit points to chew through in a fight. You getting your two expected Short Rests per day? 68 more HP every time, for a total of 204 extra hp per adventuring day. At the very least it blows Tough out of the water.

Useless feets? Yes I know them quite well after my character's legs were broken by boulders.

3:26 That was quite the burn. Dealt at least 8d6 fire damage, I'm certain.

I love how you couldn't even joke about Skilled being the best feat in the game with a straight face

Inspiring Leader has come in handy on my Glory Paladin, in Tomb of Annihilation. But, you're right. No one will listen to you speak for 10 minutes. lol It's a good way to RP with NPCs, though. They really appreciate hearing about my heroic exploits in Chult.

Wait, who's this Jacob they called the wizard at 2:26?

Colton: "Im pretty sure none of your videos are even 10 minutes" Actually Jacob has quite a few that are but a whole lot that arent

Wait... But inspiring leader is Actualy good feat, cause you can use it as a part of a short or long rest and it gives a pretty good HP boost fow low and mid level pa... Aaaaa. Nobody will listen HIM for talking 10 minutes! I got this =)

*Wait, was this all a setup for a G-fuel ad? Well done, sir! XD*

Wow who takes feats to devel dungeons in a game about dungeons that might have dragons

You can see the exact moment that Wizard regret throwing the G fuel in his eyes.

As someone who has really only ever played bards I LOVE inspiring leader, not only do I get to give my party a bit of a boost before difficult challenges, I also get to lean into the role-playing and communicate to the players that I see what they contribute to the party and believe in their abilities to succeed. It just feels so bardic, standing up in front of your friends and using encouraging words to help them along :)

I too yeet cupfuls of Gfuel into my eyes. It's how I wake up.

Inspiring Leader id argue is greater than the others you mentioned, like way better. A feat that scales? Your level plus charisma in temp hp on short and long rest has worked out really well for my group. Then you can flavor it as tell stories over fires or prepping group meals. I could be biased since its worked out well but free temp hp seems like a weird thing to down play.

The look of pain in his eyes when he threw it into his eyes

Being an inspiring leader is the most clutch feat if you're riling up a group of zombies. You just haven't seen it in play.

Was anyone else also quietly hoping that, just like with useless spells, he'd actually list a few examples of when those feats are good?

High Charisma Rogue with the Actor feat, Then EVERYONE will believe you're the owner of the house just using the bathroom

"I'm oretty sure none of your videos are even 10 minutes" *GOT EM*

The uncontrollable burst into laughter right before the cut to eye-washing made me burst into laughter too. Such a good cut!

Funny thing is I write speeches for my character with the inspiring leader feat.

Colton going "THE PROCESS, THIS IS A TRUE MASTER AT WORK" gets me every time, so good.

Inspiring leader and healer make a great combo for any character. Have your cleric/druid use some actually good spells in combat, while you patch the party up afterwards. Also, if you play a low magic swords and sandals game of 5e (lol) then they’d be clutch feats. Grappler would be ok as a fighting style available to classes that get one if it didn’t restrain the user or take two actions. I miss my 3.5 lockdown monk. Just get the most dangerous enemy into a full Nelson and have the party stab it to death. Spellcasters never stood a chance.

2:41 G-fuel turned him into Alan Moore

I was not expecting the g-fuel to the face. Nice. Also yeah, some of the feats are really bad. Happily there are some great ones to make up for the bad ones :D

Grappler is actually an amazing feat. For martial classes. Particularly combined with tavern brawler. Nothing infuriates a DM more than watching the Barbarian put a giant in an inescapable toe hold while the party just stands around stomping on it or having a monk/rogue capable of pinning the big bad and getting the sweet sweet sneak attack headbutt while you can't roll less than a ten on the athletics you have expertise in.

i just want to know how hard it was to get the gfuel out of the beard

Getting magic initiate and choosing the spellcasting class you chose.

Devil's advocate time! Actor is great with its "having advantage to pass as another person". My players usually make use of it when they need a person's attitude, more than their actual being. For instance, in some formal event, they act as a noble they know, gaining advantage at it. Inspiring Leader usually works fine for short rest heavy parties at earlier levels. Rogue + taking Skilled a million times = Never roll under 10 for any skill check ever Grappler... I will never laugh at grappler after seeing an enlarged bear barbarian goliath restrain a hydra in a 7-for-1 headlock Dungeon delver sucks tho

That was great, I love the barely restrained laughter

When he threw the powder on his face he became Theoden. YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!

It's obvious he should've taken Spell Sniper and War Caster. Double range for all spells and somatic components become obsolete.

I love grappler feat as a monk. Use the grapple advantage to shove then pin the downed opponent. Sets you up for some beautiful MMA ground and pound that doesn't allow the opponent to stand up because of the restrained status, while giving you advantage due to them being stuck prone due to previous shove. That being said make sure you are covered as you cannot move in this.

My dad actually found a use for the grappler trait as a warlock! His whole build was just to cast create bonfire, grapple a creature, and hold them onto the bonfire.

Honestly though grappler can be pretty useful. Comes in handy when the party is fighting one strong thing and you can just hold it down for most of the fight.

You suffered for your art, but it was art indeed. Never have I seen the wizard look more wizardly. His face matched his beard! IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE ONE

2:20 "Ni-i"

What gets me everytime is the "nyeh" and immediate cut to the second "nyeh" and then another immediate cut.

I just gotta say he makes the most entertaining G Fuel promotions in his videos. Love this content. I played D&D 3.5 in prison for 4 years. Most of his videos are so accurate it hurts lol. Thanks!

I have a lot of fun with Inspiring Leader. I have a Sorcerer-Cleric (playwise he's a priest with Metamagic) who uses Inspiring Leader to give surmons X3>

i took the actor feed for the and than my PC always tells the story of his adventures in the tavern

Actor comes in so clutch when you're doing the good old "kidnap a cultist, take his robes and pretend to be him to infiltrate the evil temple". It doesn't cost a second level spell slot or concentration like Alter Self AND you get a +1 to charisma

These skits are pure gold!

Grappling is fun though I love suplexing my opponents of off high ledges or into lava or the ocean

"consume pure R.A.W. energy"- well actually there aren't any systems in place for that; we might need to create a house rule

That hyper cut making the g fuel was a lot funnier than it should be.

very little has made me laugh quite as hard as "The process. This is a true master at work"

2:59 Jacob has been possessed by the luminous being, and is writing down the infinite knowledge and prophecies that come with such unfathomable power 😱! This comment was sponsored by G-fuel

Another useless feat: showing up early for a video, but having low charisma, so I can't think of anything clever to say

I don’t normally burst into laughter when watching videos in public, but I died when he threw the G-Fuel in his own face. Quality pause for comedic effect afterwards too 🤣

Funny to hear the Inspiring Leader thing as I've heard people talking about how it's actually a pretty solid feat that gets slept on (making a Warlord type character for a one shot that can develop into a campaign once one of the ones running end)

Fellas, I'm tellin' ya. KEEN MIND + Illusionist wizard. You remember everything you've seen or heard in the last 30 days. You can flip through a book just making sure to glance at every page. Later, you conjure an illusion of the book and read it at your leisure. You can make illusion perfectly replicating what you saw in a dream or what you saw while looking through your familiars eyes. My character had a morning routine where they would look through the pages of several illusory books every morning and he effectively had a mind library of 300 books of a variety of subjects with him at all times. All he had to do to copy spells was glance at the formula in another spellbook or scroll, then illusion a copy of it to transcribe. Most recently our party heard maddening screams within the under dark that can madden and disable people. Guess who made their CON save and can perfectly replicate those screams with illusions at their own leisure? That's right folks KEEN MIND is one of the most underrated feats if you think creatively.

2:33Dumbass throws energy powder into his eyes.

I love the ad in this video, just hard cut past the process of making the G-Fuel after a super quick segue into it.

Had to watch this more than once. I had tears before you tossed the powder in your eyes. 😂

2:50 is g-fuel just cocaine?

Fun D&D ideas: making a new character and putting Mobile on a Way of the Drunken Master Monk Swashbuckler Rogue just to trigger your party members.

Many people hate Inspiring Leader because some DMs have you actually speak for 10 minutes straight. I love it because of that, purely because I love the sound of my own voice.

That's a very brave decision, putting chalk and lead in your eyes.

The power hunger wizard character is actually amazing. He is the perfect power player, arrogant and narrowminded. It's too fun!

me, playing ranger: a useless feat for a useless class ...this seems fitting.

i love how the wizard just gfuels his way to breaking the universe

Inspiring leader is my favorite feat, I play a necromancer and use it to buff my skeleton's HP total.
