[QUOTE="maggot, post: 3135889, member: 1005"] I don't think the Weapon feats are weaker the first time you take them. Actually they are quite strong and I've seen many characters take 4 levels of fighter just to get Weapon Specialization. But weapon feats get weaker when you take them multiple times. The first Weapon Focus is very useful, but the second one is less so, and the third one even less than that. So you could exploit this in your class design. 1 - Bonus Fighter Feat 2 - Bonus Weapon Focus Feat 3 - Bonus Fighter Feat 4 - Bonus Weapon Focus Feat 5 - Bonus Fighter Feat 6 - Bonus Weapon Focus Feat 7 - Bonus Fighter Feat 8 - Bonus Weapon Specialization Feat 9 - Bonus Fighter Feat 10 - Bonus Weapon Specialization Feat 11 - Bonus Fighter Feat 12 - Bonus Weapon Specialization Feat 13 - Bonus Fighter Feat 14 - Bonus Greater Weapon Focus Feat 15 - Bonus Fighter Feat 16 - Bonus Greater Weapon Focus Feat 17 - Bonus Fighter Feat 18 - Bonus Greater Weapon Focus Feat 19 - Bonus Fighter Feat 20 - Bonus Greater Weapon Specialization Feat This fighter has a bunch of extra feats, but they are spread around at least three different weapons. (If you want to get a Weapon feat at the first level possible, you will probably end up specializing in four weapons.) Pretty good for a combat master. That said, the 20th level feat is a bit lame for that level, so I might put another ability at that level. [/QUOTE]
