I did allow them as written for my first 5e game--and the players went, "Woh. Why does anyone not take these?" The ranged fighter cackled with glee while outdamaging everyone, and the barbarian enjoyed beating the crap out of most people. I ended up changing them around, cutting the damage bonuses, but leaving them mostly intact otherwise. In the context of the mechanics, they're not that broken; the damage bonuses aren't that much. The penalties never once felt like a penalty, at all. In comparison, though, it's pretty OP to everyone else's abilities.</blockquote>
