Which 5e Classes Make the Most of Linguist?
The color code below has been implemented to help you identify, at a glance, how good the Linguist 5e feat is for a specific class/subclass.
- Red isn’t going to contribute to the effectiveness of your character build at all
- Orange is an OK option
- 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
Artificer: +1 to INT helps this feat be a little less useless. If languages hold big sway in your campaign, this is a decent pickup.
