The only thing in this feat really worth anything (apart from the STR or DEX ASI) is the elimination of extra movement cost to climbing.

Only take this feat if that stipulation is extremely important to your class build.

Which 5e Classes Make the Most of Athlete?

The color code below has been implemented to help you identify, at a glance, how good the Athlete 5e feat is for a specific class/subclass.

  • Red isn’t going to contribute to the effectiveness of your character build at all
  • Orange Situationally good, but a below-average option otherwise
  • Green is a good option
  • Blue is a great option, you should strongly consider this option for your character
  • Sky Blue is an amazing option. If you do not take this option your character would not be optimized
