Yes, in fact there is.

If you take one level of Dervish (Complete Warrior) you can treat Scimitars as Light weapons.

03-28-08, 03:39 AM At first I thought the thread was titled "Quick question as a feat.
I thought maybe there'd be a feat that reduces time on Gather Information or perhaps Sense Motive. I was all excited, 'cuz there aren't many feats that enhance those skills (that I know of, anyway).

But, on-topic. . . lameexcuses, are you looking for something that allows you to use Weapon Finesse with a scimitar? Or TWF with an off-hand scimitar? Because the Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting feat allows the latter.

I leave it to others, more knowledgeable than I, to find an answer to the first possibility (I'm sure there's something somewhere, probably on the CharOp boards:) ).

Peace.

Thank you very much!

Mr. Wildman:

NOW you have piqued my interest....

Quick Question[Gerneal]

Prerequisites: Charisma 15+, Gather Information 10+.

When you gather information from recipients unwilling to tell the truth, you spend a round to incur a -5 penalty to recipient's bluff checks for 1 minute.

how does that look? Too strong? Unclear?

And what book is oversized twf from?

Heh, and my theory is validated! The fastest way to find out where something is located seems to be proclaming that it is actually somewhere else.

Someone will call you out on it promptly

03-28-08, 09:43 AM I couldn't sworn it was in Complete Mage. <_< >_> Fear teh large quarterstaff of doom.

And I've now the urge to make some grilling, Cuthbert cleric/paladin-detective with Quick Question. Maybe Columbo?

hmm, so what is the fantasy equivalent of a beat up Peugeot and a rumpled trenchcoat? :)

03-28-08, 04:51 PM cat'o nine tail-----2gp

masterwork manacle------100gp

a sound-proof basement-----1000 gp

a 6th level cleric of lovitar------4500 gp

a captive who can't help but spill the beans------priceless

On a serious(?) note, the original idea was a "hustler" archtype, fishing around bar/ballroom for all those tidbits of information......
