[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4970675, member: 11821"] Dr_Ruminahui nailed it in his post, and I think you've completely missed my point. There's no problem with wanting to do more damage. I'd argue that superior weapons like the Executioner's Axe are a [I]perfect[/I] example of an important player choice. (1) It takes a feat to use, so there's a real character cost. (2) There are other equally valid options at the same tier - fullblades and mordenkrads - which have their own features. (Or bastard swords vs. craghammers vs. dwarven waraxes, for that matter.) (3) Whether an Executioner's Axe proficiency is better than other options depends on the specific character, their power selection, and so on. Iron Armbands/Bracers of Archery fit none of these categories for any weapon-users. It's essentially free for any mid-heroic character, and there are no other equally valid options for the arm slot. -O [/QUOTE]
