[QUOTE="mneme, post: 5116104, member: 59248"] dragonis: that houserule certainly makes GWP -really- attractive. I wouldn't bother with craghammers in that case; you're much better off taking GWP and using a "military" fullblade. The only barbarians that really benefit from craghammers in any case are cheesy whirling barbarians, who don't always bother learning how to use them properly (who needs a proficiency bonus?) Re GWP in general (via standard rules)...the question is really what your starting point is and what a feat is worth to you. At heroic, the bonus from GWP is almost always going to be as good or better than a superior weapon + focus, and saving a feat is great. At epic, individual feats are a lot weaker overall and you have a lot of them, and you're always rolling multiple W, so investing an extra feat and going superior+focus is often better. In between? It depends. Unless, of course, you're playing a Goliath Warlock who uses a greatsword as an implement (Eldrich strike FTW) via arcane implement proficiency (or maybe a staff of ruin with staff fighting + dual implement). ... Actually, that's really attractive... [/QUOTE]
