They rolled stats, he rolled an 18 for Dexterity, and the OP said he is playing halfling which would give him +2 Dexterity. He started at 1st level with a 20 Dexterity.

He used his 4th level ability score improvement to get the Skulker feat.

Ok, that makes sense, so I agree with the comment you or someone else posted about using more than 1 crossbow in a round. There are specific rules about using certain weapons for 2 handed fighting or getting 2 attacks per round using a single weapon, like a quarter staff.

Thanks. A very helpful thread that taught me a lot about potential pitfalls in character gen.

That's why I read the boards too. I want to see what issues other DMs have.

Ok, the thread has fix the bad math and bad rules knowledge problems. Now, I address the POSSIBLE problem player part. OK, OP do you have a problem player? Will the rogue player lose it when you nerf the pc? If so here are some solutions. Talk with the PP(problem player) and both of you hit the books to increase your rules knowledge. If he is a power player, and the others players are not, you may have to ask him to adjust his play style. At least until everyone at the table is good on rules knowledge and happy he is a combat monster. You can even out combat monsters by throwing non combat encounters at the group, that way the other players have a chance to shine.
But jasper, he a combat monster and whines if he can't fight everything aka he does not share the table. Then you back to PP( problem player). Talk to him. Then decide if you can socially bounce him from your table. Remember no gaming is better than bad gaming.

I believe it is because of the fear of getting ninja'd. They don't want to be repeating something that was said only a few second before they got their post in, so they put up their 2 cp as soon as possible, then read the thread after.
