What the title says. UA feats included.

For me, it's diplomat, though only one (quick) session in, I haven't used it yet. It looks very promising though.

Brawny. But I'm playing a Shield Master, so it's pretty much necessary without having to detract to take Rogue.

Currently using investigator, and previously had used empathetic. Both have been useful!

A Druid I am playing has both Observant and Perceptive... works great; especially when in the form of an animal that has advantage on Perception checks (Passive Perception: 37?)

I played a disguise focused character once that took Actor and would have definetly taken Master of Disguise if it was available when I played the character

I can also envision taking 'stealthy', a Stealthy/Skulker Ranger for example.

From PHB there is of course Resiliant...

I play a Swashbuckler 5/ Shadow Sorcerer 12 with Resilient Constitution and Human Determination Charisma. It's fantastic. I have been running him with 19 in Charisma for many levels. Then came the Feats for Races UA and saved my arse.

linguist and keen mind have both always struck me as very good if you're in the right setting.

Inspiring leader. Very powerful, very thematic.

Makes a mid-level paladin with a dozen or so minions way scarier than he should be, especially under gritty rules. Each use of inspring leader grants six people CHA + character level temporary HP. A single person can only benefit from this once between short rests... but he can use this ability on multiple sets of people. So if you can afford 20-30 minutes, you can dramatically increase the HP of a bunch of low-level NPCs, on every short rest.

So those 11 hp, 16 AC guards become 20+ hp, 16 AC guards, who are also getting a +5 to their saves courtesy of paladin, and get half their HP back between every short rest.

Great for chewing through low-level encounters.

A great feat, but not a half-feat (which are those feats which also give +1 to a stat)

Ack didn't have phb with me when I wrote that.
