I'm aware of the math.  I'm also aware that are alot of relatively low AC creatures with lots of hit points, and that there gets to be a point where its in your best interest to convert any circumstantial modifiers you have 'to hit' over to damage - especially at times you can't or don't want to full attack.  There is a fairly wide range of circumstances where Power Attack is better than Weapon Specialization, and if you use some of the broken 3.5 content it goes from being merely really good to possibly the best feat in the game.It's also really nice for when you really have to break an inanimate object.You'd have to do an insane amount of crafting to fall 50,000 XP behind the rest of the party.  I'd be really surprised to see anyone more than a single level behind. I think the problem is that fighter feats are too limited of a resource.  I see no reason to give them another resource instead of just boosting what they have.  I don't see a reason to not make the fighter bonus feat progression something like : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 (x2), 20 (x2).  That not only adds feats but gives a stronger reason to go all 20 levels.  An even more intense bonus feat schedule is possible if that doesn't bring some parity.</blockquote>
