I still think he's pretty lucky - his average attack roll is +10.5 with bless (after the -5 from sharpshooter) and he hit AC 17 5/5 times.Game working as intended for mine. Crap, a Paladin 8/ Fighter 2 with GWM could do more damage with a slightly greater resource expenditure [the smites].The party used extensive nova tactics, took advantage of a house rule that lets them double their active buffs (haste AND bless? wow!), and expended virtually all their resources to win against a bunch of Demons that were placed at range and used way less than 'optimal' tactics.This party has been built around a certain expectation within the DMs meta. If the DM had've been forcing 6-8 encounters on them for many of their AD's [and giving out 2-3 short rests], and creating encounters tended to push the PCs into close range fights, they would have very different characters and tactics indeed.</blockquote>
