[QUOTE="DanMcS, post: 1812840, member: 6530"] Combat proficiency and Improved CP are general feats, and list only BAB as a prerequisite. The two upper-tier feats (Greater CP & Weapon Mastery) are fighter-specific, like Greater Weapon Focus/Specialization. That was completely intentional, because I don't think there is enough incentive to stick with fighter past level 10 or 12. You've filled up your list of necessary feats for your style by then, and almost everyone goes into a prestige class because the upper levels of fighter don't provide anything new. There should be a bit of a reward for sticking with it. Actually, I think all classes should have a reward at level 20 that you can get for sticking with it all the way through. I'll have to ponder that more deeply. Anyway, in a variant which doesn't have the fighter class, it would be easy to ignore the "fighter 10" or "fighter 15" prereqs and just use BAB, you're right. Isn't the weapon master a class dedicated to one weapon? He would lose access to the top tiers of the proficiency feat chain, in return for greater prowess with a single weapon. In any case, yes, I think that's the way prestige classes work; you give up some abilities (spell progression, turning, whatever) in return for others. [/QUOTE]
