Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celtavian" data-source="post: 6635669" data-attributes="member: 5834">I posted the 100% because I've spent the last whatever months discussing this with other people breaking down the math so many times that I've reached the point of fatigue. More than a few of us have already shown mathematically and anecdotally that ranged is better than martial. That concentration narrows solutions and limits caster tactics. Part of this like the concentration is intended. Not sure if they intended the GWM and Sharpshooter discrepancy, but it happened.I get this is a public forum. When you have discussed in other threads with equal fervor the same discussions and had them proven mathematically and experientially by yourself and others, you start to kind of feel a bit irritated when you have to explain them again because new people that must have missed the other discussions start to jump in with the same arguments. I imagine in the future I should just give up and feel confident that what has already been proven is true, but won't apply to everyone's games due to what DM's allow or party size or whatever other numerous different factors affect each group's game. I would like some of these concerns possibly addressed by the game designers because my players prefer to follow the rules in the book. It's like pulling teeth to limit to GWM and Sharpshooter without an official change. Mearls and Crawford should be open to these types of changes if the player-base proves that a particular feat or rule is causing problems with the core game assumptions using both math and experience. That is what we have done with a few of these things. I'm hoping they get addressed in some fashion. So when someone says, "It's not really a problem" and uses their own very far away from Core rule assmptions game, I don't want Mearls and Crawford to think that the problems using the rules mostly as written in the Core Books are fine. Because they aren't. They should be willing to do a little clean up to make things consistent across the game and help us DMs whose players want official rulings before we change something like Sharpshooter (this is the worst offender) being far too powerful compared to other forms of martial combat.</blockquote>
