Ok hello all I have been looking around but cant seem to find it anywhere and I am trusting on the friendly lot that are here.
I am a GM and I am creating my party using PCGen and I uploaded a players sheet onto the program and I was checking it to make sure all the stuff was correct from character creation session we had but I noticed that this player who is a Level 2 ninja and is using a Wakizashi as her primary weapon is getting a +4 on attack bonus when her melee attack bonus is a 1+ her strength stat which is a 13(+1) which makes it a two, why is it a 4? isn't that a range attack because her dex is a mod of 3 and her range attack bonus would be a 4 correct? then why is her melee a 4?
Does the PC have either the Weapon Finesse feat or the Ninja Talent: Rogue Talent: Finesse Rogue? If they do, then their melee bonus is calculated with Dexterity instead of Strength.
By jolly she does, would that be the trick?
Yes. Either of those options allow you to add Dex to hit instead of Str with finesse-able weapons, which a wakizashi is.
