Hi everyone,
My DM and I were discussing the trait Finish the Fight last night, and we came to the conclusion that, by RAW, it is very powerful for a trait.
The thing is, in the Core Rule Book in the section about full attacks, it specifically says "You can see how the earlier attacks turn out before assigning the later ones.", which means there is a sequence to the attacks in a full attack action.
Hence, if the first attack of a full attack hits and damages the target, it triggers the condition "You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls against opponents you already injured in the past 24 hours." from the Finish the Fight trait, and you get +1 to hit on your next attacks.
So, for Half-Orcs raised by Orcs, this trait is essentially a cheaper Weapon Focus, and a must take, right? Kind of like Reactionary or Fate's Favored.
Agreed on all counts.
It's basically an untyped(as in any weapon) weapon focus. I'd say it's feat worthy since weapon focus is a feat.

Yep, and this is why both players and GMs shouldn't roll all attacks simultaneously.
(You see inexperienced archer PCs do this in PFS; they know the opponent AC is already and are taking their turn and say, "I hit twice for X damage." GM says, "It drops." ...except that it might have dropped after the first arrow, with the other available for a different target. Likewise, the players shouldn't accept that a flanked or surrounded monster will take all of its attacks against one PC, but would shift its focus to a different PC when the first goes unconscious.)
