Epic Prowess or Epic Weapon Focus?

Post by Waldo52 » Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:01 pm

Let's say you can only pick one: EP is obviously superior because it applies to all weapons/attacks, right?

It seems very obvious and straightforward but I've got to be sure for my level thirty feat.

EWF, hands down. The heck are you using to want to switch whole weapon group?

Personally, I'd take Epic Weapon Focus before Epic Prowess almost every single time.
Epic Prowess gives you +1 AB.
Epic Weapon focus gives you +2 AB while wielding the selected weapon.

Most builds function the best while built around utilizing a specific weapon. Therefore I wouldn't worry about swapping weapons too much - it's usually not something that you want to be doing.
Also, the goal tends to be to reach as high AB as possible and Epic Weapon Focus gives you double the bang for your buck when compared to Epic Prowess.

But it also all depends on your character build and preferred playstyle, of course.

Thanks guys!!!

I didn't notice that EWF was actually+2 instead of+1. Much better idea.
