[QUOTE="Greg Benage, post: 6978575, member: 93631"] Crossbow Expert should not cancel disadvantage from firing in melee. It doesn't in my games. That said, you're often going to be in melee whether you want to or not. You've cut a deal with drow archmage and the forces of the Inverted Tower, and that's bought you a little time to get into the Fane of Lolth and take down the vampire priestess of Kiaransalee. You're low on spell resources, but your hit points are in decent shape and it's now or never. Your scout crawls up the constricting spiderleg tunnel to scout it out, disabling the web-and-fire trap on the way. We'll say you spot the quth-maren hiding behind the pillars in the outer fane. You need to reach the gate to have a chance of IDing the drider vampires guarding the inner fane, and you need to get by them and around the curved wall to spot the vampire priestess in the inner fane. You know they're expecting you. (Ignore the graffiti my whacky players added.) Nothing wrong with ranged, here, but you better get ready for some melee. And you're not going to "kite" for :):):):).
