On a full attack, allows you to make an extra attack at -5, or -2 if you have 5 ranks of Tumble.Ĭollapsing Crescent Fan: Sandstorm, p. If tripping weapons grant a bonus when you trip things with them, why shouldn’t a Finesseable weapon let you use your dexterity to attack rolls without a feat?īraid Blade: Dungeon 120: 1d3, 18-20, x2. You should have weapon finesse built into the rapier so you can wield it properly, instead of having to waste a feat.

Personally I think there are a lot of weapon and feat combinations that you shouldn’t have to take in order to use it.Ī great example is the rapier and weapon finesse. that way you don't have to waste a feat on bastard sword and you can get weapon spec (which does kinda suck). Yeah, an easy fix is to simply make the bastard sword martial instead of exotic. The extra 1 point of damage from the Bastard Sword isn't worth a feat. If you want to switch between the 2, you use a Longsword 2-handed. The real problem with the Bastard Sword is that either you S&B, meaning you use an awesome shield and BA Longsword, or you THF and use a Greatsword. Might be fun to throw on an NPC sometime or something.Ĭrusader, Kinght, and Duskblade can pull it off. Of course, this takes at least six feats (Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, EWP: Eagle's Claw, Eagle's Fury, Throw Anything, and Quick Draw), so it's really, really not worth it, but dammit, it's cool. with the Throw Anything feat or some similar trick, Rapid Shot, and Eagle's Fury (the feat I mentioned above), you can get two additional attacks with an Eagle's Claw on top of whatever iteratives you have. There are a few other decent ones in Sandstorm as well, so it's worth checking out. not amazing, but there's worse out there. I recall being enamored of the Eagle's Claw because there's a feat that lets you get an additional attack with one (as a full-round, of course, basically Rapid Shot or Flurry). Likewise, I remember there being some cool things in Sandstorm. I don't have it open right now, so I don't remember specifics, but I can at least point you in that direction. I remember there being some passable exotic weapons in Planar Handbook.
