Rapier Wit

[drunkenboastor]

I did not know until today that the feat Rapier Wit works for not only rapiers, but it works for daggers as well. I looked back through updates and could find no mention of this at all, but it is stated in the documentation summery. The feat did not work with anything but rapiers when it was introduced, and looking back there was an old 2011ish post by Funky stating it was working as intended by only affecting rapiers. I am curious when this was changed, was it forgotten in an Mod Update?

That's interesting, I didn't know that either. Looking at archive.org, it was changed (in the documentation summary) between august 2020 and january 2021.

I don't see it mentioned either in any of the updated threads from that period, but the last one from that same day dec 29 2020 has this

-Documentation Update: All module journal entries updated! This rolls up the last eight (8) years of updates into the journal documentation ingame. Documentation updates from this point forward should track with updates, to help avoid confusion.

So it was probably changed at some (unknown) earlier point. It makes sense to me to have an 1h option for small races, but it's interesting that it makes it slightly easier to get weapons for a (1h) rapier wit user.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to, but I suppose this would make a Pixie RDD control Bloodfire Mage more viable...

Other than out of necessity for a small character to wield 1h (or dual wield) there is zero reason for using a dagger as it has a lower base damage 1-4 vs 1-8 and more importantly a lower critical threat range 19-20 vs 18-20, although if dual wielding you can reduce the inherent AB negative from -4 to -2 for small and medium characters.

I have known about this and tested it some time ago and similarly I heard it through others it is handy for things like my Half-Eladrin Rapier Wit Pally prior to getting the demi stats and such that make being a 2H more viable.
