You're really close. It gives +1 to attack and damage to light blades, light crossbows, short bows, and slings.

I have the feeling, that weapon finesse will be updated somehow... as the essential rogue has no powers anymore and needs a way to use dexterity for its basic attacks...
seems like redbox is an outdated mix of essentials and non-essentials...

It looks like it's already built-in, as the rogue bases his attacks off DEX. It's either a function of the class or the weapon, the Red Box doesn't say why.I have the feeling, that weapon finesse will be updated somehow... as the essential rogue has no powers anymore and needs a way to use dexterity for its basic attacks...

edit: D'oh. It's a function of the powers, of course!

Yes, but IIRC, the rogue in essentials has powers, not rogue tricks...
so the rogue of essentials doesn´t need such an ability, as it is already built in... the thief of the ampersand preview however uses basic attacks IIRC, so something liken 3.5 style weapon finesse is needed desperately.

Maybe that's a function of MBA now?

That would make a certain amount of sense, if it's just for light blades. OTOH, it would make slayer fighters really deadly, and possibly create the same problem that they changed Melee Training to fix.

Hmm. [thinking cap] Apart from rapiers, all light blades are off-hand weapons... maybe it's a function of off-hand weapons that allows you to choose Dex? [/thinking cap]

I too posted up some photos of the box when I got my hands on it the other night. Thought I'd share. I really like the character sheet!
