Inherent Bonuses and Magic Items

[KarinsDad]

That way, even a master of melee combat will still eke some benefit out of wielding a humble +1 weapon

Only 1 level in 5. It would be better if he eke-ed out a benefit all of the time of magic vs. non-magic.

It's an interesting approach though.

It is still [at least potentially] beneficial in terms of enhanced critical die size and other weapon properties, but at the end of the day, in the hands of a master swordsman, 1-in-5 seems ok to me. at that point he's 80% skill and 20% weapon. Or something.
