[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 2282149, member: 32164"] I should add that "Weapon" comes in three flavors: Power Weapon, Projectile Weapon, and Finesse Weapon. This is born out by the feat from the preview: Vorpal Hurricane, a mastery 3 power weapon ability (with mastery level 6 and 9 variants). The first lets you threaten all the squares around you and attack any opponent who begins or ends their action in said square, at your highest BAB at the cost of a full attack action. At levels 6 and 9 you can do this as a standard action (allowing you to move before or after you do it) or a free action (this is how you defend yourself - Conan anyone?) respectively. So apparently, not all feats have mastery levels 1-9. Verrrry interesting. Makes feats much more "spell-like" in their progression. And if you wanted to, you could forgo the Level 6 mastery and just take the level 9 mastery when you're eligible for it...hmmm. Oh, and sorry to disagree Dr. Strangemonkey, but I think Power Attack has mastery levels from 1-10. If you assume the berzerker has advanced mastery of the Power Weapon tree, he could have taken Power attack 1 (level 1 feat), Power Attack 2 (level 2 feat), Power Attack 3 (Level 4) and Quick Draw (Level 6).
