[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6810699, member: 12731"] Now you're justifying your opinion by the good old "if a billion chinese..." argument. ENWorld is frequented by all sorts of players. For the purpose of the following slightly ridiculous thought-experiment, I will consider that half are "carebears" and half are "minmaxers". Furthermore, I will assume only "minmaxers" have actually stress-tested the GWM/SS feats, and therefore, for the purpose of this hypothetical, their opinion is the only one that counts. With this I give you a scenario where even if only 26% of all ENWorld visitors find these feats overpowered, that is enough for me to state that they are indeed overpowered. Since 26% is the majority of the players that have actually analyzed the feats: 50% carebears 24% minmaxers with a non-critical view of the feats 26% minmaxers with a critical view of the feats Of the minmaxers, 52% are critical to the feats. This concludes my hypothetical thought experiment. Also see: how many percent of the total american population do you need to get elected President? (Hint: it's less than 51%) [/QUOTE]
