The way weapon training feats work irks me.
In order for a garrote to function like a garrote or a whip to function like a whip or a blowgun to function like a blowgun, you have to take a multi-class feat. If you've already taken a multi-class feat, you can't make those weapons work like they should. You can only take Superior Weapon Proficiency, but then those weapons aren't very superior, they're pretty doggone lame, as in "Yay! I just spent a feat to master a weapon that inflicts 1d4 damage!"
(And HOW does a garrote inflict 1d4 damage without grabbing the target? Are you slapping the victim with the cord?! Okay. Deep breaths. Calm down.)
Could we make the weapon training feats just be weapon training feats, instead of multi-class feats? It makes more sense with the special weapons and opens up options for players (like me) that want that sort of thing.
This would cover...
Blowgun Training (Dragon 373)
Bola Training (Dragon 368)
Garrote Training (Dragon 373)
Net Training (Dragon 368)
Whip Training (Dragon 368)
Spiked Chain Training (Dragon 272)
