[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6632515, member: 6787650"] The ant scenariocomes straight out of Quests of Doom II. You may prefer easier combats, but if you imagine I'm a lone outlier in ignoring encounter guidelines you're mistaken. Deadly threats are where the fun is at! I'm always quite up front about the fact that I ignore "encounter balance," so if you change the thread title to something like "Sharpshooter OP in Balanced Encounters" I will ignore the thread. But if it's a thread about the general proposition I may drop in occasionally to point out a solution that doesn't involve any houserules. Edit: not that every session features a deadly combat. Some days all the fighting that happens is a lone roper in a cave. Other days they ram and board a neogi death spider. It varies. It totally depends on what the PCs are doing. If they're fighting hobgoblins they will face lots of AC 18. Orcs, AC 13. On balance, AC 13-15 is my guess at most likely under most circumstances for levels 1-6 (because they'll avoid deadlier threats), which makes Sharpshooter/GWM. a strong pick. But it doesn't work under all circumstances. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2 [/QUOTE]
