Over the past year or so there's been a couple of threads regarding the Overpower enhancement in tier 5 of the Legendary Dreadnought destiny, and some confusion in regards to its multi-selector.
Basically the enhancement adds +1 critical multiplier on rolls of 19-20 on weapons under one of three choices: Pulverizer - bludgeoning, Lacerator - slashing, or Impaler - piercing. The thing I think that confuses people are what weapons fall under what category, especially when it comes to ranged/thrown. I suggest simplifying the enhancement by removing the multi-selector and just having Overpower be a flat +1 critical multiplier on rolls of 19-20 (and if you want to limit it to main hand, that's fine). That way there's no confusion.
I get that destinies as they were introduced had a class they were most closely tied to, in the case of LD, it was fighter. When this multi-selector was added during the destiny revamp fighters were locked into a focus line, but now with Dragonlords, fighters who choose the archetype are no longer locked into one focus line (as is the case for non-fighters using the tree).
I also get that names like Impaler, Lacerator, and Pulverizer are cool, and in the case of Pulverizer is a direct carry over from the name of an enhancement in the original LD tree (Lacerator is basically Headman's Chop but expanded to all slashing weapons rather than just axes), but you can use those names later on something else, especially if the destinies get another core or you introduce another destiny tree.
