So you want the bonus for daggers (knife master, river rat) with the increased damage of the shortsword? No sorry, doesn't work like that.

Also: a small character using a medium sized light weapon like a dagger, treats it as a one-handed weapon. So really bad for dual wielding.

In other words: a medium sized dagger is not the same as a small sized short sword. May do the same damage, but it's balance is different, the handle is too large etc, and it's just more awkward to use.
So using inapropriately sized weapons usually is a bad idea.

Considering he probably has feats that out-balance that -2 penalty? It's likely not a concern. I keep seeing people who use this logic; which is silly. It's like saying 'well a Huge Weapon can't be used it's too large'. Especially if it's a sword/club/knife. And you're a strength using fighter. All of them have the same purpose. It's not a ballista he's using.

Hopefully...

Awesome, alrighty then. Thanks for the information!

This is going to sound retarded; frankly, I'm used to that. And I can't find the original thread I posted this question in...

But, does Piranha Strike replace Power Attack for such feats as Cleave and the like? Since, in reality; I'd like to be able to not have to worry about not using Power Attack Right- if I can use Piranha Strike in it's stead.

Curious; due to- well, Monk.

And this isn't an issue of 'Strength' it's an issue of my Monk using his fists rather than weapons. He has 18str, and I'm not sure if Power Attack is really useful for his 'light weapons' that we call his fists.

I wanted to ask; since obviously I might be silly doing so; but does it fill the PreRequisites for Power Attack based Feats or no? Because if it does; that's awesome, if not? Aww man.
