So, since my character has been reincarnated as a Ratfolk I've been looking into alternatives to the hulking orc type of build, and have been pointed at the Deadly Agility feat in irc, which I've discovered to be an excellent feat for Dex based melee combatants; however, I've ran into an issue regarding future build choices I was considering back when I was still a Half-Orc, that being Double Slice and Two-Weapon RendHow do these three feats interact, if at all? Deadly Agility grants the benefits of Double Slice (with dex instead of str), so would it be an able substitute for it to gain the Two-Weapon Rend feat? Note that the overall amount of feats to get full damage on the off-hand and the rend attack would still be one higher for dex based builds if it does (and overall the same if one doesn't count Weapon Finesse): Weapon Finesse

Two Weapon Rend would still be based off of strength and double slice doesn't improve your dex to damage.
If it takes one more feat to get all that stuff for dex it's not a big deal, since dex adds to AC and initiative, which are important combat statistics. And of course none of the feats have high strength pre-reqs, while some of them require 17+ dex.

Double slice improves your off-hand damage (based on str); deadly agility does the same (based on dex), but taking Double Slice when you have deadly agility is basically a feat sink-hole and does nothing at all for the character (aside from open up Two-Weapon Rend). To gain the equivalent up to double slice's damage costs an extra feat already, and to gain two weapon rend needing double slice hits your limited feats once again. Just saying, 6 feats vs 4 feats is a bit of a sink. |

I don't see a problem with that, considering a str build that wanted those feats would need 17 or more dex anyway, and wouldn't get strength to AC.
If you no longer want two weapon rend, you can retrain those feats.

No retraining to be done, yet. I'm just looking forward right now, considering options and such, and found something I thought may be amiss.
