[QUOTE="MiraMels, post: 6915600, member: 6855497"] I don't think they are overpowered. In my experience, when my players feat stack into these combos that most folk complain about, they end up cripplingly overspecialized, and the gains from those feats hardly measure up against the raw edge in ability scores (or the extra versatility gained from using your feats to branch out) that their party members have. My only complaint with the Sharpshooter feat is that it encourages BORING PLAY. When cover is simply negated and range is extended to absurd lengths, my players STOP INTERACTING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. They stand in one spot, move only when the most wounded token on the board has total cover against them, and then they complain to me about how boring playing an archer is. When I play archers, I give them Athlete and avoid Sharpshooter. It's an unnecessary feat that makes having fun harder. No DPR gain is worth that. [/QUOTE]
