Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1110236" data-attributes="member: 114">Out of five fighters played by three different people, none has taken weapon focus or weapon specialisation to date.The fighters have all preferred to go for more general use feats which they can use with any weapon.I imagine that this would be very different in a "magic shoppe" campaign where it is easy to obtain magic weapons to your own specification; the decision to not allow this (we all hate the idea) almost certainly has an influence.FWIW in my campaign I made weapon specialisation a general feat available to anyone with BAB 4+ and weapon focus (so even the most dedicated non-fighter can't take it until 6th at the earliest) and it still hasn't been taken by any of the PC's.Other feats give better tactical options (expertise/imp disarm/sunder/trip/bullrush etc, spring attack/missile weapon tree/etc) and the PC's focus on those rather than simply doing that little bit more damage.p.s. Marimmar - IMC Spring attack has been a necessary life-saver for the main fighters. Without it, their only option when facing a giant or a dragon is to go toe-to-toe and swap full attacks... and at 11th level their full attacks do a heck of a lot more damage. If a parties tactics are "encircle the beast and hack away" while someone spring attacks in and out, I can see things working out as you describe; in tactical dungeon based situations though I see it as much more useful. Mobility is *so* important!Cheers</blockquote>
