[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7849940, member: 6787503"] I don’t think so. Look at what Savage Attacker gives you. If the weapon you wield does less than 1d8, it’s clearly inferior to raising your attack ability score by 2 because it doesn’t even raise your average damage by 1 point. But let’s say you’re a greataxe wielding martial class character. You can raise your Strength by 2 and get +1 to attack and damage on every attack along with the other benefits of increased Strength, or you can take the feat and get almost 2 points of extra damage, which almost sounds equal excel it’s only on one attack per turn, which after 5th-level, is pretty much half your attacks. It’s clearly not as good as raising your most important score. It’s always better to maximize your most important scores first. Feats are an even trade with increasing tertiary or even fourth most important scores, which the fighter might be thinking about improving by 14th-level. [/QUOTE]
