[QUOTE="DaviMMS, post: 7141420, member: 6871301"] An option does not needs to be good for every single build to be good. Sharpshooter does not applies to melee builds, but is an option that people often complain as overpowered in these forums. And anything can be made useless depending on the campaign. Fireball is useless on a demon or devil themed campaign. Hypnotic Pattern is useless when enemies are immune to charm. Having situations were it is useless applies to any ability of the game. What you need to see how often you really expect those situations on your game. A major difference we can easily see between these two maneuvers (Menacing and Lunging) is that, the 1st is useful unless certain specific conditions (not very common ones IMX) happen, while the other is only useful in certain specific conditions happen (Not very common ones IMX), and has questionable uses outside those situations. Both use the same resources and one is widely applicable while the other is extremely specific. Of course a DM can make that needind +5 extra reach is more often important, but in that situation we would probably see more people tanking ranged weapons or polearms instead of taking the lunging maneuver. So the problem is that you think I am being too assertive with my comments? I think that it has more to do with the tone you're giving my text on your mind than what I actually wrote and my intention was never to sound "...adamant and authoritative..."
