Weapon Finesse, does Dex add to damage?

[kwiqsilver]

Incorrect - Spk Chain is WF allowed, and PA allowed. Takes an extra feat, ut it works.

What feat is that? Is it official? I tend not to allow anything from a non-wizards book, unless I've specifically approved it. Some of those guys come up with some crazy feats.

I've got a Rgr/Rog player in my game who is ripping through
things with his daggers. (aiming for the Jack of Knives Ledgendary
Class in a few levels) Even DR isn't really slowing him down.


Any help people could give or point me to would be very welcome.

By the way, aren't you supposed to have a free hand to use weapon finesse?
Therefore your Rgr/Rog can't dual wield the daggers. Hope that doesn't tick him off too much.

Not at all. But if you carry a shield it's check penalty applies to finessed attack rolls.

kwiqsilver: The feat is called Weapon Finesse. Its in the Player's Handbook. It applies to a spiked chain. Since a spiked chain is not a light weapon, you can also apply power attack to it. By "extra feat" I believe he meant that the halfling will be getting weapon finesse for his chain, but the half-orc won't.

Tilla the Hun: The halfling will have higher int and cha than the half-orc because he doesn't have racial penalties to those stats.

Not necessarily true. Bucklers always give a -1 to attack rolls (with a weapon in that hand) in 3.5, even if they are mithral.
