    Weapon Finesse works fine with rapiers, dual or single. There is an error in the manual that says that rapiers are considered light weapons when used in the off-hand. This is false, and both the full 3E rules and the NWN game engine treat rapiers, properly, as non-light weapons when held in the off-hand. This is *NOT* a bug, it is an error in the manual. Rapiers are light *ONLY* for purposes of weapon finesse, and they are intended to be light only for weapon finesse. They are not light for dual wielding and never will be, because they are not supposed to be.

    My experience with rapiers is that they work fine with weapon finesse, and dual wielding with two rapiers isn't actually all that bad if you are playing a high BAB character like a pure ranger. You'll still hit most of the time, and gain all the advantages of using a rapier.
