For those that have used the class and have a more intimate understanding of the reasoning behind the minds of those that designed NWN.
Why in heavens name would they choose weapons finesse as a feat as the engine suggests when this class ends up gaining strength of eight in the first ten levels?
I understand a sorcerer or bard would not choose strength as part of their build.
Even if you started with strength of twelve and dexterity of sixteen it makes no sense to me in the long run.

I am not sure I understand corrcetly. Are you saying the auto-select feat for RDDs is weapon finesse at soem stage?

I guess there is a fairly simple formula for selecting feats at each level up, and that in this case the formula produces flawed advice. I doubt they'd have planned it that way.

Never ever use or trust the "auto-select" (i.e. recommended) settings for classes, skills, feats, spells, etc. It chooses very badly most of the time IMHO.

Yes exactly, the feat auto select wants weapons finesse each time you give it the option to select, even if you strength is in the 20's and dex is 14.
I agree the choice is flawed but I thought I may have been overlooking something.

No, I don't think so. Just a simplistic system not getting it right, I think.
