Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 1592147" data-attributes="member: 552">Simple question, and I'm hoping for opinions mostly.Why is it that combat expertise and power attack don't have a base attack bonus prerequisite, but weapon finesse does? I realize that the first bit can be related to power attack and combat expertise being important feats for classes that don't get full base attack bonus, and primarily because of thier use as prerequisite feats. However, if that's the case, then why does Weapon Finesse, which is vastly more useful and doesn't have a base attack bonus dependancy beyond the pre-req does.I'm pretty much convinced to drop the BAB req on Weapon Finesse because of this. I think that a rogue should be able to focus on dexterity for melee attacks at first level the same way that a fighter can use power attack or combat expertise, so I'm probably going to make this change.</blockquote>
