[QUOTE="Najo, post: 3911050, member: 9959"] This whole thing has been tiring for me too. So you undertsand where I am coming from though, originally we had dicussion going on about how to fix power attack in another thread. This discussion was prompted by Tweets blurb about what is wrong with power attack. This is when many of became aware of the problem. While attempting to solve the power attack problem and keep in mind the things that power attack should be, we continued to be interrupted with the arguments that power attack is fine, and so on. That lead to this thread, which has overtaken the originally unfortunately, but seems to be necessary because people are keeping the thread going. Power attack is needing work, and the hope was to find the solution so WOTC can keep the feat, not get rid of it. If we all are going to contribute ideas to power attack's evolution then it is important that a) either power attack is proven not broken or b) the majority of us see it is broken and can now contribute towards fixing it. That is all. I am not trying to take your enjoyment of the feat away, only trying to help solve the issues that the feat has and help towards solving the problem. To be honest, in concept, Power Attack is one of my favorite feats at first glance. I was disapointed to learn it had these problems. I just want to see the little guy up and running in a good way.
