Weapon Mastery Feats

[Scribble]

I really like the idea of weapon mastery feats. I wish though, that they'd open the idea up to some of the "regular" weapons as well. Why not have special techniques for those willing to put the time and effort (multiclass feat) into specialized training with those weapons?

Just seems to me like it would really jive well with the idea of a weapon specialist.

I like this idea as well. Might be easier to group some of the weapons, though, particularly the ones that are the same as other weapons, except different sizes.

Well... Fighters already kind of have that don't they?

I'd preffer it if they kept them seperate.

This is an excellent idea. I am hitting myself for not having thought of it. I hope the designers are reading this thread.

I don't think we have to wait for the designers, why not hop over to the HR forum and draft up some thought?

I think a baseline of a feat for weapon master in a specific weapon, then follow on feats something like:

4th: Hard Strike: swap a 3rd level or higher encounter power for:
Once per encounter as a standard action, use an at will attack using the selected weapon. If the attack hits, deal an additional 1[W]

8th: Blade Flourish: swap a 6th level or higher encounter power for:
Once per encounter as a minor action, attack Dex vs Ref using the selected weapon. Hit: deal 1D6 + Str

10th: Blade Master: swap a 9th level or higher daily attach power for:
Once per day as a standard action, use an at will attack using the selected weapon. If the attack hits, deal an additional 2[W]. Effect: Gain a +2 Feat bonus to AC until the start of your next turn. This attack gains the 'Reliable' key word.



But.... I am in the wrong forum for that... again

I agree, easy enough to make my own HRs for em... Just want to drum up support for the idea, and then maybe one of the tricky designers wil hop on and say they're already working on it.

Which would make me happy.

Less work for me, and it would be put into the CB.

I'm thinking that this sort of stuff may appear in Martial Power 2; at least, that would be my guess, assuming they don't restrict this stuff to superior weapons, which they have done so far.
