ROUND 19 is over.... kind of

[Heathen72]

This looks like it will be close.

So sad that this thread has made us such a divided community.

That was your plan all along, admit it.

Shhhh, D-rock, don't spoil my plan when it is so close to it's resolution!

Weapon Finesse always irks me when I have to take it. It means my strength is too low, and I won't do any damage, but at least I might be able to hit. And I'm spending a feat. Contrast to Improved Initiative or Power Attack where I'm itching to take the feat.

BTW, if you are an Improved Initiative Supporter and you haven't voted yet, vote off Weapon Finesse because it doesn't look like Power Attack is losing this round.

No doubt, and I hope you didn't take it personally. At the time I read you comment, WF had one more vote then II, so I felt the need to chide you in a light-hearted manner.
Again, no offense was intended.

None taken...

It's all good...

*sigh*

I wonder how this vote would be looking right now if the choices were Improved Initiative, Power Attack and, say, Weaponf Focus or Cleave.

The Power Attack community vote has yet to be diluted.

Still, one round to go...

 

[lonesoldier]

Weapon Finesse should be automatic... Still, WF 3.5 is a much better feat than his 3.0 predecessor, which was limited to only one weapon. But that compromise is not enough.

Interestingly enough, WF results in the kinda paradoxical situation that Dex-based fighters (whose archetype expects them to compensate for their lack of strength by knowing a lot of tricky techniques) have less combat feats than big brutes... Because they had to spend one on Finesse.

Then, Power Attack will have to bite it. I mean, of all the "take a penalty on attack, deal more damage" feats, he's the least efficient, except against big DR monsters.

What he said.

I read the title and was like, "... Don't tell me that's someone's new feat. You gotta be kidding me."

 

[Heathen72]

why can't we just vote all three of them off?

Aww, diddums. Did somebody vote your favourite feat off already?
Not to worry - only one round to go after this.

 

[Fieari]

Initiative and Finesse are neck and neck!

 

[Sammael]

And the voting ends in 20 minutes. I think we'll have a winner one round before the end!

 

[Testament]

DIE WEAPON FINESSE!

I love the idea, but those who need it can't have it because of that inane prerequisite. GO AWAY AND COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE USEFUL!
