Wakizashi and Weapon Finesse

UndeadDan · October 1st, 2016, 08:29 PM

Anyone know of anything that could prevent Weapon Finesse from applying to a Wakizashi?

I ask because one of the other players in my group is playing a catfolk ninja and I'm seeing weapon finesse apply correctly to her claws and unarmed attacks but not her wakizashi.

Unless the wakizashi is somehow the wrong Size, it looks like a bug you should report.

The armor check penalty of a shield being applied to weapon finesse attacks is something that has thrown people off in the past.

The PC in question doesn't have a shield.

When you do report it as a bug, please provide more information than your original post - I tested a Wakizashi on a Ftr 1 with EWP Wakizashi and Weapon Finesse, and didn't have any problems. So there's something else happening than the weapon finesse feat not detecting Wakizashis as a valid target.

Hmm, yeah, I created a first level Catfolk Ninja and gave it Weapon Finesse and a Wakizashi and that worked properly too. Something else is going on here.

I figured out what the problem was. It's entirely user error. nothing wrong with the code. Please cancel bug report.

Hi there,

Do you mind sharing what the issue was?

I'm having a similar issue with the Elven Curved Blade.
