I want to make sure that I am understanding this, I know that we don't have the full info yet.
Here is the feat in question from WOTC site
SHADOW BLADE
In the course of your training in the Shadow Hand discipline, you learn to use your natural agility and speed to augment your attacks with certain weapons.
Prerequisite: One Shadow Hand stance
Benefit: While you are in a Shadow Hand stance and attack with one of the discipline's preferred weapons, you can add your Dexterity modifier as a bonus on melee damage for attacks made with the weapon.
Special: Shadow Blade can be used in place of Weapon Finesse to qualify for a feat, prestige class, or other special ability. If this substitution allows you to gain a benefit that normally applies to all finesse weapons (those described in the Weapon Finesse feat description), it instead applies only to the Shadow Hand discipline's preferred weapons.
Now lets say that I play a human fighter and that I take the first shadow hand stance listed, which is Child of Shadow. Child of Shadow gives you concealment as long as you move. The next two feats I take is weapon finese (shadow hand weapon), and the above feat (Shadow Blade).
For purposes of this lets say I have the following
Str 16 (+3)
Dex 16 (+4)
Shadow Hand Weapon (Dagger), guessing here.
Does that mean I have the following as far as damamge
+5 (+1 BAB, +4 Dex) to hit doing 1d4 + 3 (Str) + 4 (Dex) totalling 1d4 + 7
Also the second feat listed for Shadowhand is Clinging Shadow Strike, which gives a 20% miss chance. Due to the miss chance, this means you can't be sneak attacked or critted correct?
