[QUOTE="Trasvi, post: 9207867, member: 7023211"] I know there are some great caster feats that are more powerful than others. That's not in dispute and isn't anywhere related to what I was The issue is that the martial feats cause lock-in. You spend a portion of your characters power budget on a feat, you expect it to be useful for the rest of your characters build, and at some point it might not be, depending on what magic weapons are available. None of the caster feats you listed have that problem, where you may end up in a situation where the feat is no longer useful. I don't think these examples are related at all to what I was discussing. Prison break scenarios are one of the few situations where denying character abilities can be fun, with the understanding that it's not a permanent condition. And tbh yes, I would have the 1st or 2nd group you encounter during the break have a dagger that the rogue could take if you defeat them with the sword hilt, because that seems imminently reasonable. I know I brought it up initially, the weapon trap problem isn't that bad. It's a small annoyance, that only happens if you get a magic item so good that it can overcome your other advantages; it's just one more problem that affects martials and not casters; and its something that will rear its head again with Weapon Mastery in OneDnD.
