[QUOTE="damnbul, post: 6472141, member: 6785799"] I agree with the designers. The feat states crossbow clearly in the other 2 abilities of the feat. They left it out of the part that states removing disadvantage. So any ranged attack made within 5 feet is the intended purpose. The same was done in the feat Great Weapon Master. They state heavy weapon in 1 aspect of the feat but not in the other. Showing they intended that part of the feat to work with any melee weapon. Still remember you can decide on how you want it in your game. It's your game. No rule in 5th edition is concrete if you don't like how it impacts your game of fun. So in the end decide for yourself, but in the end the feat was written how it was written. In my game it will play as it is written. But never let a rule impede the fun and flow. As a DM I tend to side on whatever makes the game more fun for the players. There is never a situation I am incapable of overcoming. No matter what level, what ability, what magic, what iem...etc a player/party has I can deal with it. To much material is out there, and game situations for me ever to feel overwhelmed by what a party of players could come up with. The key is feeling more comfortable as a DM with the game you wrote than if you had to be a Player (who has no idea what is out there and what could happen). [/QUOTE]
