For half feats, Actor works for Charisma characters (and respec out of taking performance and deception when you get it!), Heavy Armor Master adds up defensively for Lae, Minthara, or a Paladin PC/different domain Shadowheart. Athlete works great for Astarion, Minsc and Karlach. Monks could use resilient wisdom. Other than that...

About the heavily armored feat. There excist 0 dips that straight up give you heavy armor proficiency. Because no class gives you heavy armor proficiency as part of the multiiclass. You only gain it via a multiclass (and a dip at that) if theres a feat that says 'gain heavy armor proficiency' which is alot rarer then people think.

Taking a single dip in fighter doesent give you heavy armor proficiency for example. Which is an often made mistake.

Not to say its impossible though. Some cleric domains get it at lvl 1. But only Life, Tempest and War (out of the top of my head). I think for most other sources of 'get heavy armor proficiency' you need to invest more then 1 lvl.

So this feat is actually quite good if you want heavy armor, have an odd numbered STR value and dont want to multiclass to get it.

Ranger gives you heavy armor proficiency with 1 level as well, favored enemy or something

You can always *start* with the dip.

Meh. You get 3 feats, 4 if you have 8 levels of fighter or 12 levels of rogue.

All spells require DCs or they only do half damage.

Hold spells with 95-99% chance are the strongest spells in the game.
