[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 136209, member: 307"] I'll add to this commentary that one thing to remember about feats is that they are not always appropriate for every character. What is beneficial for one character is not always as benefcial for another (or beneficial at all). A human monk with Spring Attack gains a lot of benefit from it because of his high speed. A low Dexterity, heavily armored dwarven fighter gains far less benefit from the same feat chain because of his slow speed. A high strength single classed Fighter gains a significant benefit from the Great Cleave chain because he has the BAB and likely the opportunities to use his skills. A single classed Wizard gains less benefit from this feat chain because he is unlikely to be in the front lines enough to use it and his weapon selection is poor enough that he won't likely to enough damage to pull it off if he does get into melee. The two weapon fighting feats are very useful to someone with low Strength, high Dexterity and the Weapon Finesse feat, and is also very useful for rogues or other individuals who have damage bonuses they can apply to each discrete attack (like the favored enemy bonus). They are less useful for the big brawler type warrior who would derive more benefit from a big weapon. All feats are not all equally useful to all individuals. Some are useful to some people, some are useful to other people. Two weapon fighting is no different in this regard. [/QUOTE]
