The ability to mimic another person's voice is not included. | * [[Actor]] grants double proficiency bonus on [[Deception]] and [[Performance]] checks rather than {{Advantage}}, and it applies to all checks with these skills, not only when attempting to pass yourself off another person.

** The bonus to [[Initiative]] rolls provided by this feat is numerically the same as in 5e, but since in this game Initiative rolls are made with a d4 rather than a d20, the relative impact that a +5 bonus has on the results is ''much'' greater. | |||
* [[Athlete]] does not include the climbing speed or running jump features. Instead, it increases jumping distance, which is not a component of the 5e feat. | * [[Athlete]] does not include the climbing speed or running jump features.

* [[Durable]] heals all hit points on a short rest, rather than simply implementing a minimum heal based on your {{Ability|Constitution}} modifier.

* [[Medium Armour Master]] sets the cap on the Dexterity modifier added to medium armour AC to +3 as in 5e, but this overrides the properties of certain types of magical armour (e.g. [[Armour of Agility]]) that entirely remove the cap and allow the ''full'' Dexterity modifier to be added. As such, taking this feat actually ''decreases'' the AC of such armour if the wearer's Dexterity is at least 18. This is not generally considered the intent of the 5e feat when combined with similar 5e magic items such as Serpent Scale Armour. | |||

** Although the description claims that the reaction granted by this feat causes a failed Dexterity save to only result in half damage, this doesn't actually work as of hotfix 25, meaning its behavior is actually the same as 5e's in this regard: full damage on a failed save and no damage on a success. | |||
