[QUOTE="yipwyg, post: 2979962, member: 3302"] 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 [I]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.[/I] 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? [/QUOTE]
