[QUOTE="drowdude, post: 93622, member: 890"] Back in the day if you were specialized you got a bonus to hit... a bonus to damage... and to top it off... you got extra attacks... But in 3e it's broken down into 2 feats, each of which (IMO) are of less value than numerous other feats you could have taken in their stead. Now, that said, I still have characters take weapon focus and weapon specialization on occasion, but that is usually just because the idea of what those feats are *supposed* to represent appeals to me. Never have I taken them due to their great effectiveness... In my house rules I have added the Signature Weapon feat from Pulp Heroes as an exclusive option at 8th level for fighters only. This helps a bit, but not much. Ive been thinking that a good fix for Weapon Focus would be to allow it to add +1 to your BAB when weilding the favored weapon. Then it would be a really kewl feat that benefited any character of any level. Rather than being a miniscule bonus that gets lost in the shuffle after a few levels. And having the bonus to damage from Specialization scale with your BAB in some way. I dunno... Rambling over... [/QUOTE]
