[QUOTE="Greenstone.Walker, post: 7023702, member: 6788312"] I think it is deliberate., "Blunt instrument" and "finesse" don 't go together. :-) Additionally, finesse is valuable. DEX is already an useful stat, typing your weapon to it makes it even more powerful. There are, only five melee finesse weapons in the game, three of them are piercing damage, the other two of them are slashing (and the one finesse ranged weapon also does piercing damage). None of them are two-handed or versatile, which is why I guess spear is not finesse. I don't think it would break anything to make javelin (a smaller, lighter, more manoeuverable spear) a finesse weapon. I'd also make trident a 1d8/1d10 weapon, so there is a piercing damage equivalent for swords/axes (slashing) and hammers (bludgeoning). Really, the trident needs the love. [/QUOTE]
