[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8455687, member: 1465"] I agree with you, and I can't forget that during 5e playtest the original idea was that feats were [I]supposed[/I] to be bold and powerful deals! But somehow the old "better weak than broken" designers fear crept in and they delivered too many underwhelming feats. As a side note, but not sure if any feat actually suffers from that, there is also the "worst-abuse scenario" design principle that, while a lot of gamers appreciate for avoiding powergaming issues, it can produce too narrow-case abilities like Drawmij Instant Summons (in the perfect situation it can "solve" an encounter, 99% of the time it's not worth its spell level). Sharpshooter might be my personal edge within feats, not because I think it's too good by itself but because there are a lot of other boosts and benefits for archers, and I think altogether they make ranged combat too convenient.
