[QUOTE="Nyronus, post: 5612674, member: 93419"] No. Wait, hold on, let me think-no. Superior Weapon Proficiency is becoming a more and more worthless feat. It should only be taken if your player's have some specific exploit their planning on, and it hinges around weapon type, such as using a Gouge for all the charging support + rain of blows + Axe feats, or Spiked Chain stuff. Another cast is if the weapon type their looking at just has no good options in millitary, such as the case with non-glaive reach weapons. The only other reason to do so is because their a striker trying to eke out as much damage as possible, such as Rogues with Rapiers and Rangers with their death-dealing implement of choice. The difference between a Bastard Sword and a Longsword is about 1 damage, more or less. That's it. There are other feats which give you far more bang for your buck. A fighter gets way more out of Marked Scourge or Battlewise than he does Superior Weapon Prof. If your players are taking Superior Weapon Prof for any reason other than those outlined above, its their fault for lacking the effort to find something more interesting/optimal to take. Its not anywhere close to a feat tax, and removing it from the game only depowers those cases like I mentioned above. Also: Taking away superior implements is just... cruel.
