Message: <blockquote data-quote="tiornys" data-source="post: 4707149" data-attributes="member: 17633">The MW implementation is much better than the Feat implementation, but it's still flawed in a couple of ways when compared to the flat background bonus or reduced monster defenses fixes.  The major flaw is that several powers, notably a couple of racial abilities and elemental themed Paragon path powers, don't use weapons or implements.  These powers become weaker in a MW world.  Less relevantly, many characters have a primary weapon/implement, and a backup weapon/implement for specialized useage.  These backups are typically +(X-1) when compared with the primaries, but under the MW system, there will be stages where the backups are effectively +(X-2) because they fall across the MW tier break.  I don't like either of these effects, so I'll be going with the flat background fix.KarinsDad: that's a pretty solid argument against the concept that the math needs fixing, and banning the feat outright is certainly better than allowing it as printed.  I'm inclined to think that the system runs better when the background math stays static, an opinion informed by recent experiences in our game, where we just reached level 14 so the math slippage is around -2, but it's worth noting the opposing viewpoint.  Do you (or does anyone) have actual experience playing in Epic tier?  It'd be nice to have some anecdotal evidence as to how apparent the math discrepency is.t~</blockquote>
