Rules Questions


I'm trying to combine these 2 classes for a melee build and am running into an issue. Both archetypes provide Weapon Focus...Inspired Blade forces Rapier, and Kensai allows you to choose a weapon (which will be a Rapier for this build). Herolabs reds out the weapon because it says you can't have Weapon Focus twice for the same weapon.

Question is this:
1) Are there any rules for Pathfinder Society that prohibits you from using this build with 2 Rapier Weapon focuses, or do the two just override each other?

2) If it is not an issue for Pathfinder, does anyone have any experience with this in Herolab as a work around to get the stats to all work properly within the program?

Thanks in advance for your help on this!

Is no different than having two classes providing the feat Light Armor Proficiency. You only get the feat once, through it is granted by two sources.


Take your first level in kensai, pick rapier as your focus, add inspired blade later, it will then give you a reduntant feat. This should fix herolab and any PFS problem with kensai weapon choice.

Hello, I am trying to do a similar thing and would be interested in the build you have designed. Can you post your level and feat progression? Thanks a lot.
