You're pigeonholed. I want the fighters to switch between two-hander and shield plus one hander depending on whether they want more offence or defence in a given situation. With fighting styles this doesn't happen, as you just pick the loadout that goes with the style and stick to that. You might switch between melee and ranged, but that's it, and even there the fighting styles dictate which you should use if both are possible. Which is how I changed the weapon master feat to work and it still is terrible. Additional weapon proficiencies once you already have some good ones are basically worthless. They're flavour options. If you can use a longsword, being able to use battle-axe too gives you nothing, except in the extremely rare situation that you're deprived of your sword but happen to have an axe available.</blockquote>
