It doesn't say why, so let's turn to a dictionary, where we get "delicacy or subtlety in action." I have a hard time picturing any type of polearm being subtle, regardless of its weight. It seems to me you've adopted a new meaning, "precise and fast," but that description applies to a lot of weapons that don't get the finesse property.I'm having trouble believing you paid any real consideration to the mechanical themes presented in the weapons table. I do believe you wanted to get the benefits of sneak attack and your Dexterity bonus with a weapon that looks cool on your character, regardless of the inconsistency with other weapons. As Cap'n Kobold said, it's not going to break the game, but let's be honest about what you're doing here. Regardless, you already got DM approval, you don't need mine or anyone else's. Whatever my personal thoughts on how the weapon should be treated, I do hope you have fun with your new character. [MENTION=6802951]Cap'n Kobold[/MENTION] , I was being cheeky about just the sort of thing you describe, definitely not suggesting the OP has a racial superiority thing going on here.</blockquote>
