D&D 5E Using a Finesse Weapon with STR and DEX

[Arial Black]

I've just been thinking about this very thing!

In my case: an elven barbarian using TWF with short swords (until he gets a feat at 4th for Dual Wielder).

When not raging he is an elegant swordsman, but when he 'goes postal' he loses some accuracy to do more damage.

Of course, Reckless Attack will soon be a thing..!

Just bear in mind that you'll also use that lower modifier if you use reckless attack - so it's not just when raging.
