[QUOTE="Wanderer20, post: 2826848, member: 28073"] I agree that most of these feats (particularly Cunning Evasion and Indomitable Soul) are simply broken, for reasons explained above. To say "It is not unbalanced to boost Crossbows because no one uses them" is to to forget Crossbows was created not to be the best ranged weapon, since they require a Simple Weapon Proficiency instead of a Martial one. There is a reason why combat-oriented classes use the Bow and not combat-oriented ones use the Xbow: said simply, balance. The same reason that wants Monks to fight worse than a Fighter against DR... Btw, I think a feat like Xbow Sniper is a good example of power creep: in Core, bow > xbow; with expansion, bows might be >= xbows. Then we wait the next expansion and bows return > xbows. Because, I repeat, if the Bow isn't better than a Xbow, it should not require a better Weapon Proficiency [/QUOTE]
