Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felon" data-source="post: 4959765" data-attributes="member: 8158">Today I was killing some time in the Character Builder tricking out the intriguing new Seeker class. Selecting githzerai as my race, I went to the feat page and saw the Githzerai Blade Master feat. I think I literally did a double-take.It grants profiiciency with both bastard sword and fullblade, all military blades, and a +2 on damage with all of those weapons. Anybody else would have to separately spend multiple feats, and Weapon Focus would only grant them +1 damage. So certainly there must be a requirement that creates some parity--it's fighter-only perhaps, or an ability score prerequisite. Nope. Just show up as a githzerai, and you're in like Flynn. Very hinky.Then I looked at the source and suddenly my puzzlement was dispelled.  "Oh, it's a Dragon Mag feat". Man, I hate thinking that way, because it's so unilateral. But time and again it seems evident that despite their status as "official content" Dragon Mag feats don't seem subject to the same system of checks and balances as the feats we see in print. The other DM's have a Dragon Mag moratorium as well, which I think is a real shame, but there's just no trust. But I know there are folks here who don't think twice regarding the source of their feats. I guess they're probably legal for RPGA, since they're official D&D content. So I'm interested to hear some thoughts on how common it is to treat Dragon Mag content differently from the printed content.</blockquote>
