[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6870979, member: 6716779"] Back in 2014 justr after 5E came out on the WotC boards I claimed several things. THey were. 1. Bless was OP. 2. Sharpshooter/Great Weapon Master was OP 3. Bards were OP. This was circa September/October 2014. Some of the other posters were very good at spotting other things such as the Sorcerer/Warlock and how RAW eldritch blast+polearm master+ warcaster worked together. Now here we are 2 years later and the -5/+10 feats seem to be widely regarded as being OP but I am also seeing a few references to Bards being OP as well but I'm not sure that is so clear cut. So Was Zardy somewhat right in 2014 or was he barking up the wrong tree. Or shall we go with the or not part of the thread title;). Note I regard myself as a reasonable powergamer. I roll 4d6 drop the lowest and whatever I try and do I try and excel at but I rarely go for things regarded as being uber power, hence playing a Monk ATM despite my thematic dislike of the class. If I did something like roll 3 18s I would play an Elemental Monk or Beastmaster. [/QUOTE]
