    [​IMG] Does Power Attack work with Weapon Finesse? When I use Shandra's PA, it only reduces the attack bonus, but doesn't give the +3 to damage.

    TIA.

    As I understand it, Weapon Finesse works with DEX not STR, and you only get an attack bonus even if you choose other Feats involving damage bonuses.

    But perhaps others can correct me on this?

    EDIT: I looked it up. It seems like you don't get the damage bonus from Power Attack if you are using light weapons.

    Aww snap, I guess I'll have to abandon my halfling warlock/fighter build then. Wood Elf it is.
