[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 4787272, member: 9789"] As some have pointed out, my original statement was partially in error: this does not help the poor paladin or cleric, who use different items for implements and weapons, but it is more for sorcs, swordmages, wizards, and the like, who would use one item as both. (And now, the monk, apparently.) At this point I honestly expect the Divine Power book to include another Expertise feat to help the poor divine classes out. It also means all the folks who have implemented some sort of house rule to fix this horrid feat(s) are even more justified in ignoring it and implementing their house rule. It really is hard to believe how poorly this math fix has been implemented across the board. This stealth errata, combined with the quick errata when the feat came out, plus the massive grumbling across various message boards pretty much seals the fact that the devs were not fully aware of what they were doing.
