[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7470149, member: 97077"] I had a Dex-based Champion fighter with Sharpshooter in a one-shot that was related to Storm King's Thunder. He was the folk hero Beau Fletcher, the most famous archer of all time. Everywhere he went, people spoke of how he slew this or that tyrant or monster with a single shot of his bow. The DM leaned into that with some NPCs in an effort to get us to take the hook so it worked wonderfully. In every single encounter we had along the way, not once did Beau Fletcher use his bow. He dodged to draw attacks, he used improvised weapons (including the iron pot he started with), and I did everything possible to not use the bow. After a while, the rest of the players were really egging me on to, you know, actually loose an arrow or two. And I did - in the final encounter. When things were looking grim and the giant's huge weapon loomed large over us - after four hours of play - Beau [I]finally [/I]took out two arrows and let them fly. I spent Inspiration on the first one and took the Sharpshooter penalty to hit for bonus damage. CRIT. Then I did my Extra Attack. Also a CRIT, due to the champion's increased crit range. I don't recall the final damage amount, but it was enough to slay the giant. The legends, it seemed, were no tall tales. I really like Champion fighters. [/QUOTE]
