So, honest question. Do you just not bother to look at the math, or do you just not understand it? I *never* made that claim. and I *never* calulated anything based on 'using it all the time...regardless of AC' I used a very specific AC... the AC that *you* picked, using the characters that...

Did I miss anything concrete in here...?? because it seems like you spent a long paragraph saying "I'm right, I'm right...you are wrong... I know you are wrong because I am right... everyone says you are wrong...I prove you are wrong...I am right." A single attack with GWM does *NOT* do 80%...

So.... when PCs roll much better than average, they do more damage.... That sounds pretty self evident. It is, of course, possible to have an encounter where the SS player does a lot better. That is why dice are called 'random', because other times they will do much worse than average. That is...

Hey, data is good. Unfortunately there isn't enough info yet. If you could supply it I would appreciate it. I realize you will not have all of this, or at least not in detail. But the more you can supply the better. Thanks. What level were they? What was their Dex? Any other feats? Did they...

Yeah...this is typical. Someone presents a 'proof', I show just how bad their math is, they start getting defensive and insulting.....often claiming it wasn't a proof, it was a 'real example'..... So your solution is to just make up numbers instead? Real Data?? You did not offer 'data', you...

This, boys and girls, is a textbook example of "Lets Move the Goalposts" I remind you, this was *NOT* my example. This was the "proof" that Celtavian provided to show us all how bad it can be. And now when it has been shown to be a sham....based on amazingly lousy and misleading "math".... you...

Anecdotal memories << Provable mathematically sound comparisons Besides, this **WAS** an "Actual Play Experience.... Celtavian said this battle really happened, and the results would be a 25% boost. The Paladin was a theoretical construct....created by Celtavian (IOW, not me) Its not like I...

Before we get carried away about how overpowered and game breaking this feat is.... lets review some of the "facts" presented. Okay, a few problems already. 1) You skipped GWF, which changes the damage to 13.33 and 23.33 1a) You didn't account for damage from crits 2) You miscalculated the...

And a 40 lbs hand crossbow is only a little better than a toy. When you get to up closer to 80 lbs then we have a weapon.

I am going to need more details... because I have done a lot of math for a lot of possible situations... and that just doesn't happen. Maybe if you manage to always have advantage against an AC 12 creature..... but otherwise those numbers just don't make sense.

That will never be worth it. If you use 2D6 for a greatsword and you have GWF.... then its just nerfed. But for a longbow, or even a glaive..... just remove it at that point. Only useful against Zombies.... (AC 8)

Not a bad place to start. But a +2 Dex helps damage, but it also helps AC and Saving throws and skills and attack/damage with other weapons. While SS is really only helping deal damage (in a variety of ways) Granted +2 Str isn't helping as many things.... But its a place to start. I used...

So, for a feat geared towards dealing damage in combat, how much of a boost should a feat give?

You are correct. There is nothing in the rules indicating to treat your Cha save differently than any other save.

Crawford tweeted that the keep term is items in the dome can 'move' out of the dome. Meaning you can walk your quiver out with you, but you can't shoot arrows out.

I think you are mistaking 'clearly' with 'crystal clearly'. The implied wording (IMO) is they must be able to see you clearly 'enough'. ENough is a relative term, it is different for a wood elf than a human.

If you want to reduce it to -5/+5, it is because you don't understand math. That combo will never be beneficial TO reduce to -5/+8 is better, but likely also worthless in the vast majority of situations. You really need to keep the X/2X ratio to make it ever worthwhile. So either limiting it...

What is an appropriate damage boost from a feat? If a feat boosts damage output by 10% is that okay? 25%? 50%? 100%? 200%? Does it matter what the base damage is? If a feat increases a D6 attack by 100%, is that better/worse than a feat that increases a 2D10 attack by 50%? Does it matter if...

I advise keeping the MW bonus minimal, and maybe not damage oriented. Reroll 1's on to hit BOnus to disarm attempts Draw and sheathe as a single 'free' action. etc

I didn't realize WotC had hired SWAT teams to break into your house to burn your books and steal your dice. Or is it possible you can play it however you want, and you just wanted to complain because your aesthetics didn't match other people's aesthetics?
