[QUOTE="DaveDash, post: 6641721, member: 6786202"] This is true but also player dependant, as some players like challenges that reduce opponents hit points to zero and little else. I play with a guy like this who plays a Sorcerer and wants to be the glass cannon. That's what he enjoys. He doesn't care about anything else except blasting spells and doing big damage. Luckily we don't have any Fighter Archers in our group with these feats (if we did, because of our prior experience we'd probably ban them), otherwise he'd be completely outclassed in the one area of D&D that he actually really enjoys. Where I am in Australia we don't have the luxury of having lots of D&D players to play with, losing one player would probably put our games on hold for weeks or months while we tried to locate another. We can't afford to lose a player because after level 8 he suddenly finds his enjoyment stifled by this OP combination on another character, one he doesn't have much interest in playing himself. And then you can't just take away the feats from the Fighter guy whose invested the last 8 months into his character either, well you can but not easily. For that very reason we put 5e through the ropes at the very beginning, months ago, to try and break it to see what would cause issues later on.
