Hamstring on AoO is no joke, and work super good with Polearm Master. But even that is besides the point because I only made the comparison too Sentinel too point out that getting an attack on reaction really isn't as unique as the person I replied to made it out to me. Heck, the afore-mentioned Polearm Master also gets it, and on a much easier trigger.And ill mention it for the 3rd time. The stat bump shouldn't be there in my opinion either. It was a free addition from my DM's part (probably because he recently got Xanathar's, and almost all feats there have random +1's)These are fair suggestions, and If they saw print I would be more then happy with them, but I would like to point out that this feat wasn't really made with "fair" in mind, but with Great Weaponmaster (+polearm master) and Sharpshooter (+crossbow expert) in mind <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> I understand that they are not populair with some people, but they still exist and put a big disparity between 2-handed\ ranged martial classes and 1-handed classes\ build. One of the goals was to make a feat that atleast gives those classes a viable option if they want to feel like they are still putting out some competative numbers for a more combat-heavy campaign. The way I see it the +crit range on the duelist feat competes with the reckless attack option from GWM\ SS, while the reaction-attack is quite comparable to GWM's bonus attack on crit\ kill. Ignoring cover for SS is harder to gauge, but I still would never want to be without it on an archer. I can dig the finesse-classifications but I'm wondering why you feel dual-wielders should be excluded from this feat though, is it a thematic thing? Cuz Drizzt would take this feat. Is it a power level thing? Because if there are dual-wield builds that do anything close to ranged or 2-handers I'm all ears <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> I would also really like this build to work for any build that wants to use Booming Blade, or similar effects\ spells, with focus in off-hand. Wether sword + board characters should be able to use this is a fair discussion, but I'm leaning to yes. It would make for a very interesting feat option next to Shield Master, with the prone on bonus attack giving advantage which synergizes with the +crit range (and once you specialize with 2 feats I think it's super thematic that your shield bash-attack combo becomes more deadly).Yeah, I agree, I'm not sure how the wording would be on that though, "Increases your critical hit range by 1 when using a one-handed melee weapon" sounds kinda clunky. I think the riposte could very well be without advantage, but my DM argued that it really fits the man-to-man aspect of the feat, where you can capitilize on a single slip-up, and that even with the advantage the raw damage output of the feat still doesn't come close to a build that can use GWM\ SS 3-5x in a round.</blockquote>
