Weapon Finess question?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So something I stumbled across while prepping for one of my first big DM ventures with the Skull and Shackles campaign. Grindylows come up by part 2 of the first book and I cant figure out why they have the weapon finesse feat and are able to apply it to a spear- a two-handed weapon for there size by the damage given? Is there some rule I missed? I know a certain size category you start using you dex instead of you str for CMB inatlly without the agile maneuvers feat but I'm pretty sure weapon finesse is pretty clear in it description. I even checked the errata to no avail simple a fix on there bonus to hit not on the whole weapon finesse problem I'm having.


You probably forgot to apply the size modifier when figuring out the attack bonus.

The grindylow only has a +2 to attacks with the spear.
+0 BAB +1 Str bonus +1 size modifier = +2

The weapon finesss is be being applied to its bite attack. That's why it's at -2 instead of -3 when full attacking with the spear.

Do'h! This is what I get for trying to note down creatures when I should be sleeping. Thank you!
