Keep in mind though that the average roll for 1d6 is 3.5, so you end up with a lot more damage on average. I'd feel better about the dice being d4s. While still higher in damage on average, it's close enough in power to the original feat while still maintaining some randomness. 1d6 = average 3.5 vs weapon specialisation = 22d6 = average 7 vs greater weapon specialisation = 4Of course, if you're happier having a lot more damage output, that's cool, too.</blockquote>
