It's reasonably powered for its balance I guess, but tiny and potentially uncommon bonuses outside of the PC's hands do not make me enthused for this feat. Quite the opposite actually.

It feels like something WotC would have made.

Oh, sorry, right, this is a Like, not an Oppose. I mean it looks solid, for Low level as Low level goes.


More Inclusive[edit]

Since weapon groups have relatively few weapons in them, perhaps choose between Bludgeoning/Piercing/Slashing weapons instead, and make it apply to all of them? That way you have a greater range and it's less specific. --Ghostwheel (talk) 21:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

This is not a bad idea, a little off flavor but hey we need to compromise sometime. Alternatively I could add multiple weapon groups... I have an idea. --Leziad (talk) 21:36, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I feel this applies to virtually all weapons at higher levels at that point, making your choices a little more meaningless... :-3 --Ghostwheel (talk) 21:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Reduced the base attack bonus interval, now it should apply to only a few weapons but not too few to make it meaningless. --Leziad (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Works for me. --Ghostwheel (talk) 21:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I should have mentioned this more specifically earlier, but it still excludes every natural weapon ever. As long as you only fight humanoids who use your selected weapon group (it's a low level replacement for weapon focus, I don't really care about the growth) it's okayish, but eugh. - Tarkisflux Talk 22:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
In that case, might I suggest instead using the PF weapon groups? --Ghostwheel (talk) 22:26, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
It less boring than the SRD weapon focus, beside at low level my hands are kind of tied here. Unless you have a better suggestion that is. AS for natural weapons it easy enough to houserule. --Leziad (talk) 22:27, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
