[QUOTE="SpuneDagr, post: 1699781, member: 1564"] I'm trying to come up with a prestige class that is, thematically, a fighter who is equally good with all weapons. The one thing I'm trying to get away from is the fighter who specialized in "bastard sword" but then finds a +4 shortspear or something and then feels like he's missing out by using this new awesome weapon. I'm really imagining the fight scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when they're in the dojo and the older female character is grabbing all the different weapons off the walls. That was a superb show of her skill in all different weapons. I don't like Sword and Fist's exotic weapon master. It just strikes me as lacking in imagination, not to mention logic. My idea is that the character would get different bonuses for different weapons. For example: Dagger: Gain sneak attack. Rapier: Get mobility while you wield it. Greatsword: Gain power attack. Whip: You get Improved Disarm. etc. The character would get these bonuses at, say, 2nd level and they would gradually improve up through 10th (ei: sneak attack improves, etc). Also, perhaps he would get a bonus if he uses a different weapon every round. Anybody have any ideas for other weapon bonuses or other abilities for this guy? I'm going to call him the "Master of None." [/QUOTE]
