[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9508888, member: 7030563"] They are not by any stretch, in fact full casters get fewer "unique" features. When it comes to class features martials have substantially more unique features already than full casters do, and still would even if everyone got a weapon mastery. Full casters get more spells than non full-casters but full casters aren't the only classes that get spells by any stretch and spells are not "unique" to full casters. In fact even when looking at spells specifically, and Paladins and Rangers have more fenced and "unique" spell options than any other classes. When it comes to spells, what full casters have that martials don't is more spells and that is what I propose here. Martials would have more weapon masteries. I am fine with martials getting extra weapon and armor proficiencies and all the unique class features that they get (which are much more than full casters). Where it starts to break down for me is weapon mastery and to a lessor extent fighting styles. If those things are in the game I think they should be available to anyone using a weapon who is proficient with it. They should not be fenced behind feats or multiclassing IMO. My Wizard is proficient in a staff, has the same proficiency bonus to attack rolls, so why can't he learn to use it as well and do the things with it a Fighter or Ranger could do with it? [/QUOTE]
