Boon of Fate 5e (Updated for the 2024 Rules)

Which 5e Classes Make the Most of Boon of Fate?

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

• Red: Weak, unlikely to contribute to your build
• Orange: Situationally good, but below average
• Green: A solid choice
• Blue: A great option worth considering
• Sky Blue: One of the best choices for optimization

Artificer: Artificers who want some extra luck when tinkering out of combat and attacking during combat will find some solid use for this feat.

Barbarian: Rerolling a failed save against Banishment or a mind-control effect can keep you in the fight. It’s not as combat-focused as other boons, but still useful.

Bard: While this can come in clutch when making important Charisma checks for the party, Bards already have access to Silvery Barbs and Bardic Inspiration, so they'll probably want something else for their Epic Boon feat.

Cleric: While Clerics don’t make a ton of attack rolls, Improve Fate helps secure crucial spell saves or ability checks. It’s also great for buffing allies in clutch moments.

Druid: Druids may not roll as many attacks as some classes, but Improve Fate helps with Wild Shape attacks and ensuring enemies fail saving throws against big spells.

Fighter: If you want a feat that helps your hits land, go for the Boon of Combat Prowess. If you want to be well-rounded in and out of combat, this can help get you there.

Monk: This feat is good in and out of combat. In combat, you'll likely see use in ensuring your enemies fail their save against Stunning Strike or perhaps making sure you succeed against a big AoE so you don't take any damage thanks to Evasion.

Paladin: If you want a feat that helps your hits land, go for the Boon of Combat Prowess. If you want to be well-rounded in and out of combat, this can help get you there.

Ranger: A decent pick for Rangers, especially ones who are in more of a skill-focused position in the party.

Rogue: Rogues are usually the ones making the most important ability checks in the party, whether they're stealthing in, picking a lock, or stabbing someone in the back. A repeatable way to push these checks to success out of combat, combined with one free 2d4 bonus during combat, is a solid enough choice.

Sorcerer: Sorcerers have the Heightened Spell Metamagic for when they really want an enemy to fail their saving throw against a power spell, which is probably the most important thing a Sorcerer cares about.

Warlock: Warlocks casting Eldritch Blast will find this useful for turning a near-miss into a hit. It’s also good for ensuring a big spell like Hold Monster lands when it matters.

Wizard: Good for ensuring a big spell lands when it matters
