Hiya -
I am building a Stout Halfling Barbarian. So far, stats look like: 14 16 16 8 12 8
Envisioning him with a Shield, so he needs a 1-Handed Weapon.
Wondering if the rules would support using DEX for the Rapier outside of raging and when raging, switch to STR modifiers so as to gain that bonus.
A bit cheesy, maybe, although I think the rules support it:
Finesse: When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your STR or DEX modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
After using the Level 4 ASI to put +2 into STR, I'd probably move to another weapon, but was thinking this might be a good way to get through those first 4 levels.
Thoughts?
Thx
KT
