It seems anyway that against a Figther of your same level, you have on the average about 50% chance of succeeding the feint (if you maxed out Bluff, and he doesn't have Sense Motive - which is not very typical for fighter types, except maybe Paladins and not all). I think it's good: when you give up a second attack (at -5) you already have +4d6 damage if you win the faint. If you are attacking a Wiz/Sor you have much a better chance.I wasn't considering Power Attack very much. If I play a Rogue, I will probably put her lowest score in Str; Weapon Finesse (damn it can't be taken at level 1 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> ) compensates for melee attacks and Sneak attack for damage. Improved Initiative and Improved Feint may increased a lot the number of Sneak Attack you are doing per encounter.PA may not be available at alll if Str<13, and even if it is the Rogue has already quite a low total attack bonus and it gets difficult to hit.Now, if you have a Figther/Rogue, this can be very different <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
