[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5164403, member: 2011"] That's a fairly weak argument. :lol: Cause you know, 99% of creatures out there have the ability of: Really grasping at straws here Draco. Maybe you'd like to come back to reality with an example that happens in a significant percentage of encounters as opposed to an extreme corner case. Strawmans like these, they don't really illustrate your point. [b][color=red]Admin here. You are being rude and dismissive; please avoid this sort of tone entirely in the future. If you read your post and you think, "wow, I'm sounding like a jerk," then it's time to edit your post before clicking "submit." We've been over this before. Please PM me if this is in the least bit unclear. ~ PCat[/color][/b][color=red][/color] And yet again, the axe vs. sword argument is irrelevant to the conversation. +2 to hit is +2 to hit. It's often VERY helpful, especially if the foe is not attacking the fighter, or the foe dies, or the foe is dazed and the fighter can shift away after the attack, or the foe already has combat advantage. Your argument is so narrowly focused here. It doesn't take into account other PCs tactics at all. It assumes that the Fighter will use Brash Strike when it is less advantageous to do so and will not use Brash Strike when it is more advantageous to do so. Why would a player do that? Not everyone is an idiot that will use Brash Strike at first level against a goblin blackblade. Maybe you have players like that in your group. Sorry, but using a poor tactics rare example for your POV does little to support it. [/QUOTE]
