[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6922269, member: 6701872"] I was actually saying that they aren't "mitigated" by DM choice - their potency is just dependent upon it, so that choice matters, whether it is giving more opportunities for these feats to shine, or less. I said the DM chooses monsters, you seemed to offer running a published adventure as a time when that isn't true, I pointed out the error. You can characterize it as "trivial" or "semantic" all you want - that doesn't make it untrue, nor does it reduce the relevancy or accuracy of my statement that the DM chooses monsters, and that affects the power of Great Weapon Master and Sharp Shooter. No, it isn't. No more than it is a misrepresentation of what color I am seeing (I'm color deficient, by the way) for me to say "Unless that's green, I'm lost as to what color it is." Nor is that any accusation of the thing actually being green, that's just my best guess because I can't see the difference between certain shades of yellow and green, nor between certain shades of green and grey. I didn't put anything in a question, just like I didn't represent any particular statement as being [I]yours[/I]. [/QUOTE]
