However, I try to implement enough encounters where the Sharpshooter (and previous GWM before he was retired) have to rely on weapons other than their primary ones. For example, if the GWM is mobbed, the +2 bonus from using a shield is more than enough to offset the extra damage they'd deal -- especially if the mob requires a 17-18 to hit so the bonus would halve or quarter how often they'd get hit. Maybe they're fighting in a hallway too cramped for their weapon to be used effectively, or the Sharpshooter gets surrounded with no way to Disengage so has to switch to melee.Those aren't exactly creative solutions, but I find them to be more fair (and more entertaining) than simply nerfing the feats.</blockquote>
