[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8383947, member: 23751"] And completely false. Nothing I showed you was 100% good. But yes, coincidence. Take a player who is new to the game and has never even looked at the rules. The DM allows feat and has correctly described to this player that he will be playing a hero in a fantasy setting. The player having watched Lord of the Rings and the Avengers really wants to play a character whose goal is to be the best archer in the world(STORY reason). He doesn't care about power, he's just picking a heroic concept to match what the game is about. When he gets to 4th level he reads through the feats and looks for ones that fit his STORY. Crossbow expert is out. Hawkeye and Legolas didn't use crossbows and neither does his character. Because 5e has a dearth of feats, only one feat fits his STORY. Sharpshooter, so he takes that for STORY reasons. According to you, the reason he took it is because power and it can't be story, except that it was and you are just assuming things based on your personal behavior and experiences and are usually wrong, because others are not you. It has actually made you very bad at it. I've watched you get it wrong time and time again. People have different experiences. I guess it didn't matter that I had no idea about the Bladesinger when I made it. I picked it for story reasons. Been wanting to play one since 2e. I quickly discovered how good it was and then in a few threads started here I concurred with others about its power, but I didn't pick it because of that. And I played it weaker than someone who is into power would play it. I was a front line fighter and almost never cast anything higher than a cantrip. But hey. Keep on thinking everyone is you. Just like I did with Sharpshooter, I can easily make that purely about the story as well. There isn't a single feat that you can come up with that can't be picked for purely story reasons. Not one.
