[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7637353, member: 20564"] Every "replace attack stat" has limitations. Finesse is only on a subset of weapons, none heavy/two-handed. Shillelagh only works on clubs and quarterstaves. Warlock Hexblade only works on non-two handed weapons that you can touch at the end of a long rest which excludes all spell-created blades like Shadow Blade. This applies to all weapons, melee and ranged. It works with all spell based blades like Shadow Blade as well as with melee attack cantrips. You can apply Elven Accuracy to anything. With the exception for warlock hexblade + pact of the blade, it's the only way to get a non-STR attack stat for heavy weapons - things you can take GWM with. Which works great with aforementioned Elven Accuracy. Fighter is already considered one of the best multiclass dips for cherry picking, and Action Surge is worth the two level dip a not uncommon dip for wizards (even listed in the CharOp guides). I think that in general this has interesting flavor and the occasional martial class could take it for a flavor but not many because INT doesn't have a lot of synergies elsewhere for them. But I think it's easy to min/max and abuse. Got a specific table that's not going to abuse it and it would be flavorful, but I wouldn't recommend as-is for general usage. [/QUOTE]
