[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6995299, member: 12731"] I want feats that doesn't tie you to a specific weapon type. Feats should be for weapon styles. Things like "fighting with a one-handed weapon and a cape", or "two light weapons that I throw at people then yank out of them to reuse", or "ridiculously overlarge two-handed weapon". The worst way is the UA way. "No thanks I don't want that Warhammer +3 of Doom, I'm specialized in axes". If the feats instead worked by style, you could replace your axe with that epic Warhammer and still gain the benefits of your feat, no matter what your style is, as long as it involves a weapon of that type. In other words, PHB feats like Greatweapon Mastery or Polearm mastery or Dualwielding are conceptually good (if we ignore their actual benefits). The UA feats are bad. If anything, new feats should enable [B]new styles[/B] - styles that are either underserved by the base rules or outright impossible. [/QUOTE]
