[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9247430, member: 7030563"] It does exactly what you ask for - scales with level. Based on what I have seen in play I think ST is one of the strongest fighting styles. The Frightened condition is extremely powerful as is the ability to throw a net as a bonus action. Both of those are gamechangers, especially on a fighter that has limited control options. Certainly tables vary, but in combat I think Superior Technique with either Menacing Attack or Quick Toss once every other fight is going to be generally ahead of the +2 damage per attack you get from dueling and generally way better than anything else available except defense or archery-sharpshooter. That is if you use a standard day with 8 fights and 2 short rests. If you have fewer fights, like many tables do, its relative value goes up. The dice are irrelevant, the conditions - specifically frightened (from menacing attack) or restrained (from a net with quick toss) are what matters. The DC on menacing attack does scale. The attack roll with a net using quick toss also scales. You get that kind of thing in a subclass - Arcane Archer specifically at 7th level. No, but sweeping attack more or less does this. I don't think it is a very strong maneuver though and would not take it personally. Not sure what this means, are you talking about the bonus action attack? Yes they get one of them every turn. Prodigy and Squat nibleness are the exact sort of racial abilities you said you wanted earlier. After those two there are skilled and skill expert in addition to a host of feats, including some racial feats, that build weapon damage in various ways. This is all there and available .... just take it if you want it! [/QUOTE]
