Ok, here is the weapon finesse feat:
WEAPON FINESSE [General]
COPYRIGHT 2000, System Reference Document
Choose one light weapon. Alternatively, the character can choose a rapier, provided the character can use it in one hand, or a spiked chain, provided the character is at least Medium-size.
Prerequisite: Proficient with weapon, base attack bonus +1 or higher.
Benefit: With the selected weapon, the character may use a Dexterity modifier instead of a Strength modifier on attack rolls. Since the character needs the second hand for balance, apply the armor check penalty of any shield worn to attack rolls.
Special: The character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time the character takes the feat, it applies to a new weapon.
Now, the description says "Choose one light weapon", however, there is no "light" classification for weapons, only size. In the equipment description for dagger, it states that it is a light weapon, and can be used with this feat, but I see no mention of this in any other weapon description.
My question, what exactly is a light weapon (other than rapier and spiked chain), and are there any others? I think a short sword should be considered light to a typical medium sized creature, but there is no mention of this. What do you think?
