You have dedicated yourself and poured your heart and soul into mastering a specific type of weapon.  This practice makes creates a consistency novices can only envy.  Warriors who see your skill will be able to recognize you as the master you are.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you roll a natural "1" on an attack roll with the weapon, treat it as though an 18 were rolled.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you roll a "1" on a weapon damage die, treat it as though you rolled the maximum value on that die.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you get a critical with the weapon, do an extra d12 damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If the weapon is a melee weapon, once per short rest you may use your reaction to turn a critical hit against you into a normal hit.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If you have superiority dice, you get one extra die per long rest when using this weapon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You have a +2 bonus to intimidate if you use your weapon to threaten the being you are trying to intimidate.  </li> </ul>The first one is roughly equivalent to a +1 to attack (more like a +.85)The second and third one combined is roughly a +1.2 damage bonus, +1.5 for a Champion of level 3 or greater.The forth and fifth are fairly useful when they are useful, but don't swing things a whole lot.The 6th is basically color.The 3rd disproportionately helps Champions.  The 5th only helps battle masters.  So this works best for fighters, but not by a wide margin.  Also it's best for melee types, but not by a wide margin.  These are both bits of color--fighters are the best weapon specialists.</blockquote>
