[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4898500, member: 71571"] To me, a Swordmage not being allowed to use a Weapon Focus in his Sword to increase the damage of his Swordmage attacks that require his Sword and use his Sword as a physical accessory without being Weapon-keyworded is inelegant. I figure if you can use a sword to do magic in a swordy way for a sword-based class, a class that can use a staff can do so in a staffy way while still being magical. As an example: 'You swing your staff in a semicircle before you, the end of your stick contacting one enemy, and an explosion of thunder knocks him and his cohort away from you.' (Thunderwave) 'You toss your staff into the fray, and as it spins it catches on fire, flashing against the defenseless armada before returning to your hand.' (Fireball) 'You turn and spin in the form of the crane before hitting your stick against the ground. A rumbling comes forth beneath the earth before exploding in a hail of sharp crystal erupts from the earth, hovering menacingly' (Cloud of Daggers) See. Flavor. Weapon technique affecting magic spells. Totally 4E. Totally can make sense. [/QUOTE]
