My list of 10 underwhelming Starfinder feats
• Diversion - most GMs are going to let you do something similar to this with RP & Skills without using a feat. Most not all.
• Drag Down - Ok this feat is too conditional. Let's picture an example. A creature uses an ability to knock you prone. Then you get to use your reaction to knock them prone (If they are adjacent to you), so if you succeed and knock them prone they can in most cases just use there move action to stand up. And let's not forget that standing up is safe and does not provoke AoO.
• Improved Critical - so I increase my crit range? NO. So I can increase my crit magnifier? NO, just increases the D.C. Of your crit effects by 2. Uh no thanks, not now, not ever, not when I only have a 1 in 20 chance of critting.
• Jet Dash - the amount of times you will need to run that distance is very rare. It's an amazing x6 your speed but it has to be in a strait line and not through any difficult terrain, and if note flat footed is no longer that detrimental.
• Kip up - ooh so cool, false, not cool just stand up like everyone else. I could see some characters using this feat to some success, won't be me though.
• Side step and Improved sidestep - yaaa I can accomplish the same thing by just being tactical and understanding the initiative, delay action, ready action rules.
• Step up - if this didn't take my reaction, I would take it. You can take step up and strike, paying two feats to basically accomplish what you can do in Pathfinder with one feat.
• Strike back - very conditional, not worth a feat slot.
• Veiled threat - I want someone to take this feat so I can make fun of them during the game, then trick them and make them unaware that I mocked them. Definitely, without a doubt get this feat, said no one ever.
• Stand still - Awesome, I can stop your movement with an AoO, sounds great, sign me up, oh wait When you attack them they get +8 AC what the......? Oh you can spend two feats on this to lower it to +4 AC for the target. Seems like an unnecessary penalty to your AoO for trying to protect your team.
