I currently have a PC aiming for the Jedi Weapon Master PrC (Power of the Jedi), and was looking for some opinions from people who may have already played the class.
1. How well does the Devastating Strike ability operate in game? At first I thought it seemed very strong, but the fact that it requires a full-attack action and provokes an AoO seems to make it less so. Indeed, with the way critical hits work in d20 Star Wars, a Sith Lord has a 10% or better chance of critting you on the AoO and killing you before the Devastating Strike ever goes off, and if it does go off, there's still a fair chance it will fail. But this is just conjecture from looking at the ability. How does it actually play in-game?
2. I'm considering dual-wielding. The 2 feat cost is heavy, though, so I'm also thinking of the Rapid Strikes Mastery. Do either of these paths have a clear advantage?
3. Opinions about the Weapon Master in general? Tips? Warnings?
