[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 3710051, member: 11586"] So I just read the article about Classes, which by the end of the article had more to do with Figthers and their weapon choices (and weapons having "powers"). So this is my theory... I am going to assume different weapons, when in the hands of a Fighter, get automatic benefits. For example, in 3E, the Whip (and Spiked Chain) give a bonus for making Trip attacks. In 4E, in the hands of a Fighter, when the Fighter attacks with the Whip, he might get to make a free Trip attack automatically with it. So he'll deal damage, and get to trip for free. So that's one thought... The other thought that goes along with this... If that's the case, then won't the Fighter be making Trip attacks on every swing? Perhaps it only comes into play on the role of a nat 20? (unlikely, but it would give 'critical hits' more meaning than just double damage). Anyway, I like this prospect. Perhaps a Flail will automatically initiate a Bull Rush when the Fighter swings and hits with it? They already hinted that spears will bypass AC. Can't wait to hear more! [/QUOTE]
