Is there a feat to use Dex bonus for damage?

[Someone]

And a halfling with Str 6 and Dex 20 has different problems, like the fact that his weapons all do less damage anyway...

..And totally sucks at grappling.

??? You posted it has a BAB requirement of +3. Take an elven fighter, he'll have both feats at level3. Now give him a Spiked Chain, he can finesse it AND use twohanded Power Attack.

Let's look at point buy for str 8 and dex 20 and con 14. For an elf, it costs 26 points. He has a +5 to hit and a +5 to damage. Let's give the half-orc a str 20, dex 12 and con 14. The half-orc has +5 to hit, +7 to damage and AC worse by 4... in light armor. Not considering mental attributes. The elf pays 2 feats more... Hmm, we could have taken a wildelf for the same point buy cost the half-orc could have only bought a str 18.

If the elf goes TWF instead of the Spiked Chain, he's worse at power attacking but rocks with a +5 to damage to both weapons. And needs more feats, so he HAS to be fighter.

He's slightly disadvantaged so far but that get's better with leveling and buying stat boosters. The half-orc needs two, the elf just one. Are stat boosters common in AEG swashbuckling adventures? I don't think so.

Your Elf can't power attack at all. Str 13 prereq

Fine, give the elf 5 points more str and put it in the half-orcs dex. The elf still has a much better AC and saving throws, more than you'd get for two feats otherwise.

I played an elf with str 16 and dex 20. That feat would have made him even more "DM annoying" than he used to be. And he wouldn't have needed Bulls strength AND cat's grace before battle.

I would personally change Zen Archery to add Wis to damage, not attack.

Instead or in addition to str damage ?

I'd let it stack with Str. Yeah, this makes it really good. However, it means the character still has a reason to boost Str, instead of ignoring it. I don't like single-stat bunnies; and someone who's boosting Str, Dex (for ranged attack) _and_ Wis is unlikely to be maxing out all three.

So now instead of spending 20,000 gp to boost that dex from a +4 item to a +6, he'll spend 8000 to get a strength +2, wisdom +2, get a bigger bonus to damage and more bumps to your saves overall. Allowing stats to stack is not usually a good idea.
