[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7443510, member: 6716779"] None taken its more form what I have observed with other DMs (not me). Inexperienced DMs the game tends to spiral out of control as they cant deal with it or the arms races starts. Myself I can deal with it in other ways and often be subtle about it. For example say I have 2 PCs using the -5/+10 feats, one uses a bow the other uses a greatsword. The 3rd PC might use a weapon finesse battlemaster. A flaming shortsword might turn up in treasure, the greatsword user is luck to find a +1 weapon while the bow user gets some magical arrows or a magical +0 bow that glows in the dark. Something like the elemental weapons in PotA can also drop with things like weapon finesse +2 spears. Throwing a chain shirt on an ogre and not giving out more xp for it is also something I would do.
