Message: <blockquote data-quote="BobTheNob" data-source="post: 5487132" data-attributes="member: 82425">Just tried putting together a Sorceror. Now, I love the "dagger sorceror" so I thought "Yea, lets do one of those!"Then I discovered something. New essentials expertise feats...the way of the future. Acknowledgment by WOTC that they stuffed up the maths and so they compensate by feat tax with rebate. i.e. Expertise feats that not only fix the math, but give a nice little rider as well. All in all, when these feats hit the scene, I threw my house rules out, because they at last fixed the problem in a way I was satisfied with.Back to my sorceror. So I say "Ok, light blade expertise!", only to discover that it is weapon attacks only! So whereas the staff (the other native sorceror option) sais weapon AND implement, the light blade doesnt. This leaves the dagger sorceror out in the cold and relegated to the older CRAPIER (/feat tax) expertise feats.So, even though light blade is one of the sorceror native implements, your better going staff, cause at least the up to date support is there for it! (And frankly, the rider it gets is plumb sensational)Question 1 : I personally view this as a bit of a hole in the current rules. Does anyone agree with this interpretation?Question 2 : I was thinking a house rule where Light blade expertise a) Applies to implement attacks as well and b) When used as an implement, works the same way as Sorcerous Blade Channeling (which is about on par with what Staff expertise does). Assuming you agree with point 1, would you view this as an adequate house rule solution?</blockquote>
