And you definitely did leave people (including the guy who posted after you) with the impression that it was the only feature at 3rd level, perhaps because you wrote this:In fact, the Battlemaster at 3rd level gets 4 d8 superiority dice and three maneuvers to go with them (real feature) plus artisan tool proficiency (ribbon). Compare to the Eldritch Knight who gets three first-level spells and two spell slots (real feature) plus weapon summoning (mostly ribbon), or the Champion who gets Improved Critical (real feature) and no ribbon. The Battlemaster's artisan tool proficiency looks perfectly fine from that perspective, and while it doesn't do a great job of expressing "cerebral fighter" the way a Tactics or Military History skill would, those skills do not exist in 5E so proficiency in Weaponsmithing or Fletching is about as close as you can get.</blockquote>
