[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1336222, member: 3424"] Apart from one-handed weapon fighting, each of the other styles have something going for it: two-weapon fighters get a large number of attacks, two-handed wielders can pump out massive amounts of damage per hit, and the weapon and shield style balances the user's offensive and defensive capabilities (although feats like Improved Shield Bash and Improved Buckler Defence pretty much encroach on this). In order to stand out, a one-handed weapon style needs its own special advantage. I'm thinking it should be along the lines of precision, accuracy and ease of weapon handling. How does this sound: [B]SINGLE WEAPON STYLE (General)[/B] You can fight with greater skill when you wield a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other hand. [B]Benefit:[/B] When you fight with a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other, your Base Attack Bonus increases by 1. [B]Special:[/B] A fighter may select this feat as one of his fighter bonus feats. This provides a whole host of minor benefits: the character can gain iterative attacks sooner and potentially 5 iterative attacks at 20th level (the last at -20). He can qualify for feats sooner (Spring Attack at 3rd level is a possibility). He can get more advantage from feats that work with BAB such as Combat Expertise (to a point) and Power Attack. On the other hand, he is limited to fighting with a single one-handed or light weapon in order to gain them. Do you think this feat is balanced? [/QUOTE]
