[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 9329270, member: 6932123"] Nitpicks and corrections: [spoiler] you make → you may Ready attack → Ready action attacks against instead → attacks against the target instead Not sure if the two attacks are limited to be against the same target (assumed to be the case for the above correction), or if this should remove 'against' entirely and just make it two attacks in general. Could be better written. Perhaps: When you attack with a light hammer, warhammer, or maul that you have mastery with, and apply the Topple mastery effect, the creature you attacked has disadvantage on the Constitution saving throw to resist it. shortsowrd → shortsword (applies to all three entries in Grandmastery of the Knife) Remove the comma after "shortsword". [/spoiler] Overall, I do like these feat ideas. It gives characters a degree of specialization that's more long term than weapon masteries, which can be swapped out every day, and the bonuses are pretty nice. I also like that you tie in non-attack combat actions, and give benefits to different weapon types. Comments on specific feats: [b]Grandmastery of the Axe[/b]: Does the bonus attack given when you Dash combine with Cleave? Do the bonus damage dice apply to the Cleave attack as well? Charging into the front line of the enemy and just nailing 3 or 4 creatures with that massive first strike with your greataxe, possibly knocking them down, is a great image. [b]Grandmastery of the Bludgeon[/b]: It's not clear if the bonus damage die applies to every attack made during the Attack action, or only one attack. It won't apply to Readied actions or opportunity attacks, though I might consider it should apply to Readied attacks. While I realize it doesn't quite fit with the naming, it does feel like the greatclub belongs more with the Hammer set than the Bludgeon set. Just first impressions, though. [b]Grandmastery of the Spear[/b]: Maybe consider a "riposte" feature. If you use the Dodge action (and get the +3 AC), if a creature attacks and misses you, you can use your Reaction to counterattack. That also combines well with the Push mastery. [b]Grandmastery of the Sword[/b]: Does this mean that if you do it once, it lasts indefinitely? (Or at least to the end of combat?) It doesn't say it only lasts til the next turn. I can see this being intentional, but I want to be sure. [/QUOTE]
