[QUOTE="pming, post: 6915814, member: 45197"] Hiya! TL;DR ...so maybe someone has already brought this up... I voted "Overpowered". But I would have put an * after that. By itself, taken as-is, with everything else in the game being core only...no, not OP. However, from what I've read and those I've talked to on the 'net, a campaign that is going to allow GWM/Sharpshooter is almost always also going to allow Multiclassing, point-guy, other Feats, Spells, Classes, Races and whatnot from other sources, etc. THIS is when GWM/SS becomes absolutely OP (moreso when players get together to create synergistic characters together). "I'm a human fighter with a 15 STR and GWM" isn't OP. "I'm a fighter/rogue winged tiefling with DEX 20 and Sharpshooter" is OP. Add in another PC in the group being some other particular variant Class/Race with some select spells...now combine that with the F/R Tiefling SS and you suddenly have a two-man team that is nigh-unbeatable except in encounters specifically designed to not let them use their synergy and "kewl powerz". So, yeah, overall the [I]potential[/I] for OP just increases and increases as characters gain levels and the DM opens up (or starts allowing) more and more "OPTIONAL" rules and whatnot. This will NOT end well. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
