@JeorMattan because if you have +5 AC, you're never going to hit anything. Standing there doing nothing (and not being hit-able) is pointless.
@JeorMattan you have a point about touch AC, but you're talking at the cost of two feats (since EWP for Bastard Sword is a complete waste). No, +4 attack/+4 AC is not a good use of two feats, even in Core.
@JeorMattan exactly why I wrote it. The Str dependency is bad design, because 3.5 does not handle MAD well at all
@JeorMattan so less damage than it should have, with a pointless restriction on it? this is a good idea why exactly?
basically, you seem dedicated to keeping mundanes down, and I won't support it
I wrote Weapon Focus the way I did to improve their lot
it is not the best feat available
but it's a damn good feat
and the game would be much better off if feats were, in general, more like my Weapon Focus
it's not so great that you'll take it as your #1 feat for every warrior build, but it's good enough that every mundane warrior wants it
that, to me, is a sign of a good, well-designed feat
