Rogue: Weapon Finesse + Finesse Training for Knife Master ??

[Trixden]

As a rogue i have the weapon finesse feat (use dex instead of str for all light weapons)

I have just got to level 3 and now have finesse training feat for free (use dex instead of str for your chosen weapon)

This seems completely useless for a knife master who has limited weapon options in the first place to make use of the sneak stab special ability, as they are all light weapons anyways.

Am i missing something here ?

I will be focusing on daggers so i don't have to take the martial feat for Kukri's and do not want to multi-class fighter either.

The first one uses Dex instead of Str for attack
The second one uses Dex instead of Str for damage

No problem. And if you run out of feats later, I do recommend Martial Weapon Proficiency for Kukri since there are some good ones later on, and as you say, your selection is a little limited.

A knive master can be a damage monster, if he survives.
Send your tank in first, and attack enemies who are attacked by other melee group members (flanking). Max out dex, use all dual wielding feats and try to maximize your hit chance ( weapon focus, outflank, improved critical). Select rouge feats to debuff enemies on hit. Halfling would be the best race (dex bonus and hit bonus, lower weapon damage does not matter because most of your damage comes from sneak attacks and dex. Avoid stuff that lowers your hit chance, e.g. piranha strikes.

In the guide guide section I have created the holy backstabber, but he is multi classed with paladin and monk for more defence, better saves and kukri usage.
