[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6051855, member: 17106"] I could see that. That's sort of what 2e did. The higher weapon masteries gave you additional bonuses to attack and damage as well as extra attacks. Triggered abilities can be fun, but depending on the trigger can strain disbelief and are highly DM dependent. I don't think increased threat range is a bad idea, but I don't see it as a fighter shtick or as substantial enough to be a cornerstone ability. *** My approach to it has been through the TB combat reaction system. By implementing a simple block/dodge system for all characters built off of the existing AoO concept, there is more design space, more things for the fighter to be good at. Thus, my fighters, besides numerical bonuses and bonus feats, get extra reactions to block/dodge/AoO with, and additional benefits when they do those things. The bottom line is that a fighter can do more useful things in a combat round. [/QUOTE]
