I'm in O'Fallon, MO and would be interested in joining. Been a long time player of Pathfinder and my old group broke up after 4 years of playing due to people moving out of state for their jobs. I'm 42, non-smoker, great with pets (2 cats of my own), and know a good amount of rules without being a rules lawyer (good for helping new players).

If you still got room, I'd love to try it out! Feel free to shoot me an email at awentwor@att.net.

I think it actually goes like this... and your wording may have been a little incorrect, but I'll assume otherwise:

Fighter engages a target. Rogue attacks the fighter.

Was the fighter aware of the rogue (failed perception check). No, thus he is unaware of the attack. The combat rules state: Unaware combatants are flat-footed because they have not acted yet, so they lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.

I take this as meaning that the Fighter hasn't acted toward the rogue's attack yet... thus he is flat-footed against it and loses his Dexterity to AC regardless of having blind-fight.

Blind-Fight states that they do not lose their Dexterity to AC against invisible attackers. It does not state that they are never unaware of attacks.

Another argument can be made against conditions and results.

Fighter is unaware of the attack and thus is flat-footed (condition). The result of this condition is that he loses he Dexterity to AC (result of condition).

Fighter has Blind-Fight which negates the above result of condition. However, the condition still applies. Sneak attack states that anytime they WOULD BE denied their Dex, sneak attack applies. Thus, the condition is still there, so sneak attack still applies.

Personally... I hate Blind-Fight as a feat. I believe it should only allow reroll of miss chance, and maybe negate the +2 bonus to hit from invisible creatures. It should not allow them to keep their Dexterity.

Is Improved Two-Weapon Feint truly intended to not have Two-Weapon Feint as a prerequisite? On the off-chance that it is in fact not intended to need Two-Weapon Feint as a prereq (which I regard as highly unlikely, but technically possible), if there any compelling reason for a fighter not to retrain the latter for the former at the first available opportunity?

I'm wondering that same thing myself. Looking for some speculations on whether its a misprint or not???

I tried comparing this up to Improved Feint, but it doesn't add up that way either. Improved Feint makes Feint a standard action, while Two-Weapon Feint moves it into part of the full-attack action. Improved Two-Weapon Feint allows for all following attacks to be vs a feinted target.

Almost seems like Two-Weapon Feint should have Improved Feint as a prereq, or to move Two-Weapon Feint into an ammendment to the Bluff Skill for Feint??
