[QUOTE="guachi, post: 7236227, member: 6785802"] D'oh!!! It's not like I don't know this and it's not like I didn't already know this makes my GFB/Shieldmaster character impossible but... you have to take the Attack action in order to use Shieldmaster. GFB uses a weapon attack that's not part of the attack action. It uses, of course, the Cast a Spell action. D'oh!!! If you could use Shieldmaster without having to take the attack action and if you had a DM that allowed the spell-less Ranger (it's fun!) you could have Horde Breaker AND Precision. Horde Breaker doesn't require use of the Attack action, just a weapon attack. You have the Precision to ensure your GFB hits and can use Shieldmaster to reposition foes if needed so they are within 5 feet of one another to trigger GFB carry over damage [I]and[/I] get that extra attack from Horde Breaker. Alas, this is not possible or it would be even more broken. [/QUOTE]
