D&D 5E (2014) Do DM's feel that Sharpshooter & Great Weapon Master overpowered?

Beat the Game,
Beat the DM
Beat the Thread.
Go on!

I'm sad you feel that's the purpose of posting. I hope you can one day realize that winning the game isn't the objective.

Still, if you find enjoyment in it, have fun!

And yet it was still handwaving. Very odd, indeed.

Are you saying that a DM choosing monsters - a thing expected by the game - is handwaving?

Misrepresenting my statements isn't helpful.

Misrepresenting? I just told you I don't think I know what you are saying - in what way is that "misrepresenting"?

I have fun with the game Because I dont try to beat anything.
But in this thread a lot of poster just want to Win and Prove their point.

Was that your point? That's trivially true for home brews, and not so true running published adventures.

It was the part before that where you provided a false representation of what i might think.

Ah, you're suggesting that I am doing that. Let me help clear this up: disagreeing with you isn't the same thing as trying to win the thread.

I hope that we can leave this behind us.

A DM running a published adventure is still choosing the monsters, even if they choose to use exactly the ones presented.

I did not make any claim that you thought or said anything.

No offense taken, it is a game!

Huh. I had thought you were trying to say that the SS and GWM feats could be mitigated by the DM choosing monsters, but now it seems your just making a trivial semantic point that the DM technically chooses the monsters even if he chooses to use the ones in the published adventure.

So, okay, I can't disagree with that trivially true statement, odd as it is. The DM chooses monsters. Doesn't really apply to the argument, does it?

I did not make any claim that you thought or said anything.

Sure you did, right here:

Unless you are saying that you think the system, not the DM, should be selecting monsters, I'm really lost as to what it is that you think is being "pushed" anywhere.

Right there were you come up with a thing you say I mean unless you don't understand. That thing is a misrepresentation of my statements. I've had it on applicable authority that putting such things into question doesn't make it better.

And here I though it was a discussion. If you score points in your game by having the last word, though, by all means do so.

Hey, dude, cut Krachek some slack. Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip. I did. It always gets cleaned up sooner or later. No harm, no foul.
