How about here then?
I think the point is the Tempest doesn't get the very same +1 as the Weapon Trained Fighter. His +1 is dependent on off-hand weapons that do less damage (excluding broken Double Weapons). His other Tempest abilities are dependent on having worse armor class than the Weapon Trained fighter.
Sure a WT Fighter using two shortswords (in chainmail) won't be as good as a Tempest Technique fighter with two shortswords (in chainmail). But then a WT Fighter would probably be in Scale or even Plate using a Longsword + Shield or a Two-handed weapon, or a Bastard Sword and Shield.
Dr_Sage said:Interesting argument... you say its fair to trade the "+1" for the very same "+1" plus all the Tempest benefits.... poor great weapon fighter. Basically you say its fair to trade an apple for an aple plus oranges and a couple of bananas.
But I agree the Tempest discussion is not here.
