It was just an attempt to make odd atribute scores relevant, but I should admit, it was a lame attempt. Now, this is really interesting. Another poster had the symmetrically opposite opinion, namely why should an optimizer not take the feat. When such opposite reactions happen, one could interpret that the feat is not actually a dominating option, but it does have a niche, and it almost makes me feel I was at least going on the right direction.Well, more or less. Finesse allows this, but it usually means the PC will dump str. On the other hand, str-based PCs that have access to heavy armor dump dex. I would like something to allow for better rounded heroes, as I stated on the original post. Something for melee rangers who want to wield axes, or elven warriors with longswords, or fit yet elegant paladins. I am not trying to fix anything here, just trying to open possibilities. I just noticed, I stated something relevant to this topic on another tread, where I actually had the idea to tinker with all this, but failed to mention here: I always aggregate in my mind the atribute scores and the looks of PCs, so I tend to imagine all str 20 warriors as hulking brutes, and that is not how I would like that knight in shining armor protagonist to look like. This is maybe one of the main incentives I had to come up with this feat, though some proposals that came up by other posters actually seem simpler while effective.</blockquote>
