[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9004137, member: 7040132"] Assuming Weapon Mastery becomes a base system, perhaps merge that functionality into bullet points of feats, like Fighting Style, Weapon Master, or Weapon Training feats. For instance, the Great Weapon Master feat (from the Experts pack) already has a "Cleave" bullet point. Why not merge them to make a feat that captures the full essence of Great Weapon Mastery?
