All I will say is that it is impossible to negate the penalty to hit completely (unless the AC is super low), and you are still -5 to hit behind the rest of the party. At low levels (up to about 8th) the average damage increase is tiny. At higher levels it becomes a little more, but we are still talking about around 2-3 extra points of damage per hit (assuming bless). Barbarians can push it a little more with constant advantage but only get 2 attacks. That certainly doesn't break my game.You get to kill the hordes a little bit faster. When it really matters against a tough high level opponent with a high AC, it barely makes a dent on them. If you happen to get a magic weapon that has a bonus to damage (eg flame tongue) then its usually not worth using the feat at all.Of the two feats, sharpshooter is slightly better due to the ignoring cover and the reliability of ranged combat in general when it comes to rarely wasting a round.</blockquote>
