This feat was requested by a player in one of my games it seems reasonable to me.
Finesse Fighting [General]
Flavor text. You utilise a combat technique that emphasises accurate and quick strikes rather then hefty blows.
Prerequisites:Weapon finesse, base attack bonus +1.
Benefits: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may replace your strength bonus with your dexterity bonus on damage rolls.
Normal: You cannot normally use your dexterity bonus on damage rolls.
Special: A fighter may take finesse fighting as one of his bonus feats. If you have a strength penalty you must stack your strength modifier with your dexterity modifier.
This feat is of my own design.
Combat Prowess [General]
Flavor text. You can efficiently make exceptionally powerful attacks while using your martial abilities for defence.
Prerequisites:Power attack, Combat expertise, Str 13, Int 13.
Benefits: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add two thirds that number to all melee damage rolls ant to AC. The bonus to your AC is a dodge bonus. The penalty to attack may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks, bonus on damage and AC apply until your next turn.
Special: Any circumstance or ability that increases the damage bonus from power attack (wielding a two-handed weapon for example) also applies to this feat.
A fighter may select Combat Prowess as one of his fighter bonus feats.
What i'm most concerned about is if these feats are balanced.
Thanks in advance for your constructive criticisms.
