basically the problem i see is the requiremnts for blade master dont mesh with the requirments for whirlwind attack

the diference is comabat reflexses versus combat expertise

menaing if your pc manage to some how get whirlwind attack with out getting combat expertise and has combat reflexsis they will be a blade master as combat expertises is not a requirment of being a blade master only for whirlwind attack
this seams wrong.

so i would add the requirement of combat expertise

I say go ahead but that seems a bit...redundant to me. blink.gif I mean, IF SOMEHOW a player character managed to get whirlwind without the extra feat, go ahead and take Blademaster, because you're cheating anyways. Because how do you get a feat without its prerequisits anyways?

I think that the logic with not requiring whichever feat it is, is that that feat doesn't neccessarily make sense for blademaster, although it makes sense for whirlwind attack. But maybe its just a mess up. rolleyes.gif Either way, Blademaster is a pretty difficult PC to take - my armsman will be it at level 11. Addmittedly he's stopped to take a few other feats (like latent sniffer and exotic weapon proficiency (sword breaker), but still.

You are correct - the two PrC's are identical. However, the Weapon Master PrC has yet to be updated from Sword and Fist (to 3.5,) unfortunately.

Personally, I find myself wondering if the prereqs for Blademaster are actually reflective of the fighting style of Blademasters as seen in the books.
