Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6916610" data-attributes="member: 6701872">Correct, but it is important to remember that the "massive benefit" is situational, and it is generally accepted that reducing something from constant to situational earns it the right to be of larger benefit when it does apply.The important part of the consideration here is to determine if the benefit, at it's greatest potential without inclusion of combination of other features or abilities, is too strong. I don't find that to be the case.The reason why most analysis doesn't get to this point is because the numbers you refer to are not a thing which can be meaningfully measured beyond the scope of a single campaign - the numbers of of such rounds would no doubt vary wildly between even just your table and mine, and to average them wouldn't be of any greater benefit because campaigns don't have to adhere to any kind of average when it comes to establishing what threats will be faced.And I don't think discounting any analysis that didn't account for the impossible to quantify variables of DM design style and monster usage as "not a good basis for discussion and evaluation" is reasonable.At which point we are no longer evaluating a feat, but a combination of interacting choices, so the information we gain will not tell us whether this single feat is functioning appropriately or not - it will only tell us about that particular combination of interacting choices.Outdamaged by who, exactly? Also, why is it an issue for a martial character to be outdamaged by whomever?I ask because the barbarian played in one of my campaigns does not know have this feat, nor is there any intention to take it later, and he seems to be doing just fine keeping up with the damage dealt by the rest of the party - even when he was choosing to use a magical dagger instead of a mundane greataxe because a larger magical weapon had yet to be found.</blockquote>
