So, looking back over Ultimate Combat, I cannot help but wonder if Two-Weapon Feint was meant to be a prerequisite to Improved Two-Weapon Feint. Otherwise, it raises the question "why even take Two-Weapon Feint?" when Improved Two-Weapon Feint is just better. Can someone clear this up for me?
Improved Two-Weapon Feint (Combat)
Your primary weapon keeps a foe off balance, allowing you to slip your off-hand weapon past his defenses.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Fighting, base attack bonus +6.
Two-Weapon Feint (Combat)
You use one weapon to distract your enemy while slipping another past his defenses.
Prerequisites: Dex 15, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Two-Weapon Fighting.
Well, 2 extra points of Dex, Improved TWF and a BAB +6 are all extra, too. But yes, it's a little peculiar not to have Two-Weapon Feint as a prerequisite to the more beneficial feat in what looks like a tree.
Well, Dex 17 and BAB +6 are the pre-reqs for Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, which is a pre-req for Improved Two-Weapon Feint. It just really feels like Two-Weapon Feint ought to be a pre-req to Improved Two-Weapon Fight. Otherwise, again, why bother taking Two-Weapon Feint if you can just wait a little while longer and qualify for Improved Two-Weapon Feint?

Doh!
Yeah, Improved Two-Weapon Feint should definitely have Two-Weapon Feint as a prereq. It looks like I just left it off the list by accident when I wrote that feat.
Ahh, thanks for clearing that up.
