[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 7466321, member: 59848"] That is an interesting idea. I like strategic actions outside of "I hit the monster again with my sword until it does." But I don't see it being enough of a draw to players, since in my experience at my table they prefer more simplicity, damage, and attacks. The feat says that it only works while wielding the specified weapons. A sword and dagger wielder could not benefit, because while they are wielding a dagger, they are not only wielding a dagger. So you are correct, that is not the intent or the spirit of the fighting style. If you have a suggestion to improve the wording I would appreciate it. Thanks! And yea, free hand does allow for a shield, or could dual wield for another attack but without the strength/dex mod to damage. Would that change your calculation if you account for that possibility? But if I did that, why would you choose this over TWF? I guess changing the position of the word "only" clairifes the intent? I've adjusted. Hope it clears things up. [/QUOTE]
