[QUOTE="JackOfAllTirades, post: 6618714, member: 6790063"] Something needs to be done about the Crossbow Expert feat. A feat for crossbow users is fine; crossbows users need some feat support to be effective in combat. But the extra benefit removing disadvantage on "ranged attack rolls" within 5 feet is causing all kinds of confusion! It's worded such that it applies to ALL ranged attacks, not just crossbows, and characters with no intention of ever touching a crossbow are choosing this feat. GM's are houseruling this so it applies ONLY to crossbows because the feat is called "Crossbow Expert." (And their players are arguing about it....) I think ability is powerful enough to justify its own feat, (Point Blank Shot) possibly with another benefit alongside it. (+1 DEX, perhaps?) Since it's not tied to crossbow use alone, it should not be included in the Crossbow Expert feat. Either that, or the Crossbow Expert feat should be clarified, limiting this ability only to crossbows. [/QUOTE]
