Remove that and give dex based stuff extra damage via sneak attack or multiple weaker attacks like the 5E monk or AD&D rate of fire on bows. When dex is a major save, initiative, major skills (including combat ones hello sneak) and melee and ranged to hit and damage that is what made it uber. 4E had to resort to gating stuff behind powers which didn't work so well. Drop rapiers down to d6, or find something else for dex to do like rapid strike, dual wielding, accuracy or something.OSR clones you dont get dex to damage, or dex to initiative. 3E,4E and 5E also went a bit over board on two handed weapons as well- 3E power attacj, 4E 1W, 2W etc benefit 1d12 and 2d6 weapons a lot and 5E GWM feat.</blockquote>
