[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6847360, member: 23"] Ok, let's look at that EK since you are so insistent + 13 to hit 1d6+6 damage 4 attacks per round. That's pretty bad-ass to start with. Let's look at my above examples. Vs AC 19: chance to hit is 75%. Average effective damage/ attack is 9.5 X 0.75 = 7.125 Vs AC 15: Chance to hit is 95%. Average effective damage/ attack is 9.5 X 0.75 = 9.025 Let's see what happens if he goes sharpshooter: Vs AC 19: chance to hit is 50%. Average effective damage/ attack is 19.5 X 0.5 = 9.75 Vs AC 15: Chance to hit is 70%. Average effective damage/ attack is 19.5 X 0.7 = 13.65 So this guy will do 2.625 and 4.625 more per attack using this feat. Oh it's very nice, no doubt about that! But he's not *doubling* his damage! He might be double other party members, but that's mostly because he's (or she) is a highly skilled archer, not because of the feat. [/QUOTE]
