So a Dex fighter has spent one feat to have the same chance to Hit.Damage-wise the Dex fighter would have to spend another feat (the Prec. Attack) to do the same amount of damage.So the cost is two feats to stand on even ground with the Str Fighter.  Even for Fighters this is not a small price to pay for a fighting style.So it really falls into style of play.  If you want real life examples look at feudal Japan's Samurai's.  Their fighting styles were one of quick precise attacks, where as the majority of western Europes was the bashing till their pulp style.  Both are proven effective, there are advantages to both and disadvantages to both.  That's the way I see it.</blockquote>
