[QUOTE="grimmgoose, post: 9434287, member: 7042183"] I may be in the minority, but I severely dislike the 2024 Weapon Masteries. All they do is add clutter for minor gain. I would've basically gone back to 4E, granting once-per-Short-Rest (Encounter) powers that scale with Tier of Play. Meaning, you don't always have to keep track of which bad guys have been "Slowed" - when the Ranger wants to use the once-a-Short-Rest "Hamstring" ability that, as reaction, turns a moving creature's Speed to 0 - it's a big moment. It's also something that could've easily been added upon in subsequent books. I'm assuming WOTC is going to add more weapons as time goes on, but I would've preferred a system where if I pick a Longbow, I can choose between three "Powers": [LIST] [*]Hamstring [*]Knockback Shot [*]Double Shot (or whatever) [/LIST] edit: also, the names WOTC landed on are [I]atrocious[/I]. I cannot believe they landed on "Nick" and "Graze". [/QUOTE]
