[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6916648, member: 6701872"] You have this habit of thinking that because I disagree with you I must not have "optimizer's eyes." You are wrong. I can disagree with you even though I do have the ability to optimize and recognize optimization. Because what we disagree on is not the effect of the combination of factors that go into the optimal scenario, but that a single one of those factors can be ruled as over-powered because of the performance of the entire combination of factors - because those other factors (buffs, for example) are not an inherent part of the single factor (the feat). [I]What[/I] other martial character? There is no guarantee of their being any other martial character in the party, nor of another martial character that happens to be in the party having better damage - so again I ask, Outdamaged by [I]who[/I] and why does that matter? Which is exactly the thing I've said to you numerous times so far - that something not working appropriate in one of our campaigns doesn't mean it won't work appropriately in another, which I acknowledge when I say things like "seems to be working as intended" because the thing [I]can work without alteration[/I], when you say things like "is broken." because it doesn't work appropriately in your campaign (and then rudely insist that anyone whose campaign it works in just isn't looking at it with the "right" eyes.) Also, I used the phrase "keeping up" not because the rest of the party is doing roughly equal portions of the damage, but because the barbarian is keeping up enough damage that it isn't out of place to refer to him as the party's "go to damage dealer." But I can see why one would assume the other usage as you have done. [/QUOTE]
