My point is that unless we tell people how destabilizing these feats and rules are, they won't notice the shift. What I mean is, one player can keep happily playing a slow axe dwarf for years without any issues. This is for when the players take the next step in building optimal characters.What I'm saying is that most of the time, sticking with the rules is a perfectly fine alternative to houseruling for the exact reasons you provide. This time it's different. Once your players realize 5E has done away with all the safeguards to swat-style modern hide'n'sneak ranged combat, you will too realize that changing the rules is the only option. I simply can't use 5th edition to run the kind of D&D game I want. The pain of changing the rules is simply lesser than not changing the rules (while we await WotC formally acknowledging the issue and errataing the game, which might well not happen until 6th edition).</blockquote>
