If it was increasing a weapons enhancement bonus, it would mean that it quintuples the value of your magic weapon (since that's what it costs to get an extra plus.) An alternate approach might be to consider it as an item bonus like they exist for Reflex, Fortitude and Will defense. In that case, they are probably around "medium" level items of their tier (5th, 15th, 25th).Again, Weapon Expertise is very powerful, so that's the upper limit. Weapon Focus might be considered weaker, since you can get a +2 damage bonus per tier with magic items. But if that's our estimating, a feat might be something like an item of your level or 1/5th of that value. I think my current value is somewhere in between, too. But that doesn't make it "right" for 2 or 3. Or at all, because it's just guesstimating and trying to make comparisons between things that might better not be compared.</blockquote>
