specialization and strength bonuses?

[akridian]

1) what is the benefit of going beyond mastery level for using a weapon? to me it's not worth it. so you get a +1 more to damage at grand mastery level and a -1 speed factor. not worth it really IMO.

2)each specialization and mastery level all say they give an additional 1/2 attack every round. do these stack? meaning if i have mastery level (3 points) will i get an additional attack or is it still just 1 additional attack every other round?

3) i can't find my book so could someone please list the % bonuses for strength?

4) thanks for your help

You might as well put 5* into your weapon of choice. Even if your a multiclass with slow * progression, if you know what your going to be using you have enough * for grand mastery in the weapon of choice as well as the corresponding weapon style.

As I recall the strength bounusses are:

16 +1 to hit
17 +1 to hit +1 damage
18 +1/+2
18 01-50 +1/+3
51-75 +2/+3
76-90 +2/+4
91-99 +2/+5
100 (00) +3/+6
19 +3/+7
20 +3/+8

I think it follows:

21: +4/+9
22: +4/+10
23: +5/+11
24: +6/+12
25: +7/+14

I'm pretty sure on 24 and 25, while I've no real idea about 23 since it's a virtually impossible stat to get. If I'm mistaken it's only +/- 1 anywhere and should give you a nice oversight of it anyway. :P

Broadening the topic somewhat. Does anyone have the wisdom bonus table? If so, is it applied correctly in SoA/ToB?
