For example, Martial Weapon Proficiency tends to get a high rating, since, hey, all martial weapons! But all of the classes that make effective weapon attacks get either martial weapon proficiency or proficiency with the weapons that are good for them (Rogues and Bards get the finesse weapons, even though they don't get all martial, for example). There are some exceptional cases where someone might actually seek out martial weapon proficiency who doesn't get it normally, like a rogue archer who wants to use a longbow, but they are unusual. So other than those few special cases, martial weapon proficiency really ranks somewhere from 'meh' to 'trap' - the wizard considering adding a fighter level really shouldn't be treating the ability to do an average of 1 more point of damage on melee attacks that don't use his int to hit as a 'gold quality' (or 'purple quality', or whichever color is high) class feature.</p></blockquote><p></p>
