[QUOTE="Neverfate, post: 5669820, member: 93685"] This article makes me sad. Like WotC just hires people who have no idea what the game needs or the players want. Which was simple. Things like the new Light Blade Expertise only worked on weapon attacks. You just had to make a feat that had a light blade implement feature. +1 to hit per tier, and +1 to something else for using whatever (light blade, heavy blade) weapon as an implement. The corner cases that are covered in the article could also have been easily handled by updating ONE feat instead of producing several more feats: Versatile Expertise. They errata everything else. Why not that? I'm not saying this is the worst article ever written but it just so misses the point of even WotC's "Essentials" line of thinking. Yet it's like "Heavy Blade Implement Expertise" instead of one that just exclusively works for Bards was just SO hard to do. But sure throw in weird pre-reqs and corner cases. That's "streamlined".
