[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5614047, member: 54877"] A way to fix that (assuming you want to) is to make special abilities apply to multiple groups of weapons, but be careful about which abilities go where. The effect is that you can't focus solely on a single weapon (or group) without picking up a few things that are useful with other weapons. Sure, you'll still have a preference--something you are best at--but it is no longer all or nothing: Feat Weapon Special A: Nifty thing with axes and swords. Feat Weapon Special B: Nifty thing with axes and maces. Feat Weapon Special C: Nifty thing wth 2-handed weapons of any group. The guy with the great axe is eventually going to get all three of those. It's expected. But in the process, he ain't too shabby with a great sword or maul, either. To make this work, though, you really do have to nail down the weapon groups hard, and then parse out the specials rather evenly. Better think through all the weapons that will be represented.
