[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6924119, member: 6701872"] I don't care what baseline is used for the math - just that whoever is doing the math acknowledges that the AC variable is set by the DM, and is not necessarily going to match up to the value assumed to enable any math being done, so that the result of the math is (as your most recent math I've seen seems to be) telling a DM at what point the performance peaks and what peak performance is like in practice so that they can use that information to determine if they personal are fine with that peak performance, or wish to avoid it, and how they can avoid it without doing anything beyond their normal activities as a DM. It's just the "this math shows the feat to be universally broken" folks, I've got an argument against. (And I will note that said folks do seem to be, slowly, changing their arguments over time.) I've not seen Sharp Shooter at my table yet, so I've not really formed an opinion of it. [/QUOTE]
