[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 3206619, member: 12332"] I just think it should be called out as such in the text. Like: "If you use this book, it's suggested that you just eauthanize the Fighters in your campaign gently and humanely. They'll thank you for it." I'd probably rebuild the Fighter a bit by adding some maneuvers and such from the Bo9S and then cut the Warb0rken out. But that's another thread for another time. Reading the text, there's really no way to say that it DOESN'T stack ... it just doesn't really click, especially given the text in the table at the head of the chapter. And, as usual, the text in the actual FEAT always trumps the text in a table, and the text of the feat not only gives the fighter a bonus with all slashing weapons, but that bonus adds to their focus weapon. It would, honestly, be dumb to require the fighter to have +1 Attack and +2 Damage with his FAVORED WEAPON and then give +2 Attack and +2 Damage with all other slashing weapons, but not his favored weapon. That means by taking the feat you suddenly use your focus weapon LESS SKILLFULLY than any other slashing weapon that exists. You focus in Longsword and take MWM and suddenly you're better off switching to a battleaxe or Falchion, even if you never use either of those weapons? Just doesn't make any sense at all. --fje [/QUOTE]
