[QUOTE="Thurmas, post: 7235708, member: 6866167"] Agreed. I think a good balance to this, which I wish was in the PHB, would have been something like: "Melee attacks against opponents not wielding a melee weapon or shield have advantage." That would have helped give melee a little boost against ranged characters. I think if this were the case, the removing disadvantage for ranged attacks in melee wouldn't be as big of a deal, since the melee character would still have the upper hand. Also agree here.
