That's why there are no additional feats handed out, no additional maneuvers, why there's just a martial damage bonus rather than additional dice tricks, etc. etc. etc.They want us to make sure the basic math of the upper tier works out before they start giving us all the specialty crap of feats and maneuvers and dice and all that stuff that will potentially screw everything up.Seems to me they are rolling the upper tier out EXACTLY as they should be.</blockquote>
