[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5578662, member: 6674931"] Guys, i honestly i don't get you. I still think that what i say is RAW. In a 3.0 book you have certain class ability that provides an increase in threat range. This is the ability. Stop. THEN (after the ability's description has ended) there is written that this ability stacks with a feat that also provides an increase with threat range. Stop THEN 3.5 comes out and says that multiple effects don't stack. Stop Now, there is no need to rewrite the book, or provide a 3.5 update, because 3.5 DOES NOT change the class ability whatsoever! The class ability stays the same! However, this class ability does no longer stack with the feat. Because the feat now explicitly states that it does not stack with other effects. This is not a change that affects the class ability in itself, therefore an update is not required. However RAW states that this class ability cannot stack with other abilities of the like. That is what the RAW says! "Specific overrules general" does NOT count when general comes after the specific, as in our case. Not only it comes after but it also more "powerful" in a sense that it is a rule published in the Core Book. "Specific overrules general" applies ONLY when the specific comes after the general. In the case of the Weapon Master, the specific is based/established on the general, therefore it applies normally. How can we say that the "Specific overrules general" when the general the specific is referring to does no longer count? The general is now "new", therefore the specific now abides by that "new" general, it does not overrule it. [/QUOTE]
