A '''light weapon''' is a weapon that is of a smaller [[weapon size]] than the [[Size|creature]] using it. [[Natural weapon]]s and [[unarmed strike]]s are also considered light weapons. These weapons can only be wielded in one hand, so a creature will only add 1x their [[strength]] [[Ability modifier|modifier]] (or [[intelligence]] modifier if they have [[Combat Insight]]) to damage if they are wielding a light weapon with their off-hand empty. If a light weapon is wielded in a creature's off-hand, the penalty to attack for each hand is reduced by 2. Light weapons can be used with [[Weapon Finesse]]. However, Weapon Finesse uses the list of light weapons for medium creatures for all creatures.

For [[medium]] creatures, the following [[weapon size#small|small]] and [[weapon size#tiny|tiny]] melee weapons are considered light weapons:
*[[Unarmed strike|Unarmed Strike]]
*[[Natural weapon|Natural Weapons]]
*[[Shortsword]]
*[[Handaxe]]
*[[Kama]]
*[[Mace]]
*[[Sickle]]
*[[Light hammer|Light Hammer]]
*[[Kukri]]
*[[Dagger]]

For [[small]] creatures, only the following [[weapon size#tiny|tiny]] melee weapons are considered light weapons
*[[Unarmed strike|Unarmed Strike]]
*[[Natural weapon|Natural Weapons]]
*[[Kukri]]
*[[Dagger]]

Note: While [[Rapier]]s can be used with [[Weapon Finesse]], they are not light weapons unless the creature is [[large]] or greater in size.

Note: Melee Touch attacks are not affected by this feat, even if a light weapon is equipped.
