[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6914609, member: 12731"] What do you mean by "overpowered"? Too good compared to other options/feats? Unbalancing the game? I would answer yes to the first part but no to the second. --- Dealing damage is in itself not a particularly gamewrecking ability. There are always more and bigger monsters. Dealing much more damage than your friends, however, that is a serious issue. And yes, GWM and SS give too much of an damage boost since it comparatively easy to mitigate the to-hit penalties. It makes it too hard to not choose them if you're a weapon user. SS is actually more harmful than GWM, since SS removes too many limitations of ranged combat (and Crossbow Expert removes the remaining ones). GWM at least requires you to enter melee with the beasties, which is good, since many Monster Manual entries are not given any defenses against kiting tactics. [/QUOTE]
