What's Really Wrong with Melee Weapon Mastery

Have you got a link to a quote for that?

Yeah. I'd love to see that myself. I too think the table is more reasonable than the text of the feat.

Now I might agree a straight figher could use a power boost, but this boosts more than just the straight fighter.

If it is true Wotc wants the fighter to be better than in the PHB, they should eratta the PHB. Thy did that to drop driuds down a notch.

You mean Animal Growth?

The only real problem with it is that non-fighter classes can get it (looks at warblade and pious templar). Both by level 9. Neither of those classes need a boost.

I'm not quite sure how the pious templar is overly powerful. Its just a PrC version of the paladin, sans lay on hands/special mount (and the immunities/saves if you don't have them from being a paladin already). And considering you spend a feat to get in that does virtually nothing, I don't see anything wrong with giving them something that makes up for it.

Thanks. But it now makes it doubly hard to reconcile it with the feat as written!

Maybe that was the original intent, but someone edited the feat to read a completely different way. Or maybe it was the other way around.... they edited the table entry to reflect what they thought it should look like and forget to edit the feat text itself???
