[QUOTE="Cam Banks, post: 2110151, member: 3817"] Just felt like throwing an idea out, after reading this thread. What if the Weapon Finesse feat also let you apply your Dex bonus to damage as well as attack bonus? If that's too much, what about another feat (with Weapon Finesse as a prerequisite) that does that? My thought is that switching out your combat style with finessable weapons entails moving away from power and force and towards direction and placement of the weapon, aiming for critical areas, etc. A rapier in the hands of a master fencer might end up in a much more deadly location through use of his Dexterity. Power Attack is already useless with light weapons, so there's some precedent to the notion that Strength is less useful with these weapons in general. It would also make the quick, nimble little knife fighter with the high Dex and low Strength a lot more scary. Right now he might hit the other guy often but the results are feeble.
