[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 6982818, member: 6785785"] That is a fair criticism. I think that such "tunneling" as you describe it will be an issue for some tables, and not so much for others. Whether it was an issue or not would likely also depend on what other characters and builds were used in that given game. So if the game didn't have a Crossbow Expert maxed out for DPR, than a GW fighter would be perfectly fine. And so on. The players and how they look at the game and balance among characters and roles will be a huge factor as well. Personally, I don't know if I agree with how many folks here seem to view Crossbow Expert...but I'll go with the consensus for this discussion. Dude, go ahead. Fix them. You offered some solutions earlier in the thread. They seemed reasonable. Do they work for you? I hope they do. And I'm glad you shared them with others. Allow me the same courtesy of sharing how I handle ranged combat versus melee in a thread that is about exactly that. You didn't start this thread, so please don't try to claim ownership. My comments have all pertained to the general topic. Just because they do not align with yours does not mean that they are taking attention away from the discussion at hand. [/QUOTE]
