If martials need help then a more global manuever system or flat damage increases if necessary is the way to go. Boosting a few martial options is not.Ya, giving weapon specific options is hard to make work. For my game I made most of the weapon specific feats Inherent Weapon Properties. See page 2 of my <a href="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/BkZbG-bew" target="_blank">houserules</a>:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Charger is now a default option: "When you use your action to Dash, you can make one melee weapon attack or shove a creature. If you move at least 10ft. in a straight line immediately before this, you either gain a +5 bonus to the attack's damage roll or push the target up to 10 feet away from you (if you succeed in pushing)."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cleave (see GWM). Greataxe, Greatsword, Maul</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Polearms. While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, or pike in two hands, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TWF. Ability score bonus and draw 2 light. See TWF above.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shield. If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.</li> </ul>Now you can switch weapons without concern. I should probably add a few more for options like daggers or others, but no player has inquired.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2620-Rodney-Thompson-Leaves-Wizards-of-the-Coast" target="_blank">Rodney Thompson's departure</a> was a big one. He left 6 months after 5e released. In my perception the UA content that has been published since has varied quite a bit from some of 5e's core concepts that Rodney talked about extensively during the 5e process.<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/54880/greg-bilsland-announces-departure-wizards-coast" target="_blank">Greg Bisland left on June 21, 2016</a>. He was a lead producer/designer for WotC. He "worked closely with Mike Mearls and Christopher Perkins to develop the 5e core books"James Wyatt moved to Magic in April 2016, but I have no idea if that had an impact as I think he's more of a writer</blockquote>
