Weapon finesse

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: BAB +1

Specifics: A character with this feat is adept at using light weapons subtly and effectively, allowing him to make melee attack rolls with his Dexterity modifier instead of his strength (if his Dexterity is higher than his Strength).

Use: Automatic when using any of the following weapons: dagger, handaxe, kama, kukri, light hammer, mace, rapier, sickle, shortsword, whip, and unarmed strike.

Notes

• The finessable weapon list includes all standard small and tiny melee weapons, plus the rapier (which is medium).
• Two-handed weapons cannot be finessed. Thus, small races (e.g. gnomes and halflings) cannot finesse rapiers.
• The maximum dexterity bonus does not apply in the context of this feat; wearing armor does not affect attacks made using weapon finesse.
• Even though the feat description says "light weapons", this should not be confused with light weapons in the context of dual-wielding. The finessable weapons are exactly the ones listed above, regardless of the size of the weapon and the size of the wielder (with the noted exception that two-handed weapons cannot be finessed).
