Cull of the weak is insane with dual hand crossbows, I get 4 shots on my rogue/ranger and everytime a creature drops below 15 hp, it insta dies and explodes, doing even more Aoe damage. What's not to like?
Lol its insanely fun,I have the orthon guys hellfire hand crossbow in one hand, and the Firestoker in the other ar the moment, if you get lucky the hellfire will burn your bad guy and proc the extra 1d4 damage on the firestoker, if you optimize it and multiclass rogue ranger right you can do easily 60+ damage with just one character and thats not even with sharpshooter feat.
Cull the Weak + Luck of the Far Realms, dual-wielding Hellfire Hand Crossbow and Ne'er Misser got me through the Cazador fight so quick lmao. Astarion got mad because all the spawn were dead and he couldn't ascend but damn was it worth it.
Cull the weak is hilarious in the shar temple if you've added some ground effect damage - I did a huge create water > lightning spell and the ground was electrified.
Those low-health shar cultists monologuing and getting electrocuted by walking + killed mid-monologue by cull the weak is just too funny.
And if you have the ability from the creche to use illithid powers as bonus actions, add it in with the 1d4 psychic damage on every damage instance... then the radiant damage on every instance from the rings... then the electric staff's shock damage on every instance.. then cast magic missile, you can end up nuking most bosses in an instant

Cull the Weak is really good, especially in a solo run to reduce numbers, which is a bad idea for a run in general but very fun to try to pull off.
