Hey there people, I was wondering whenever weapon finesse apply to all weapons you use or only a single weapon of chose like in 3.5.


As faar as I can see it works with ALL weapons since its doesn't metion that you must choose a weapon, like in weapon focus.


" You are trained in using your agility in melee combat, as opposed to brute strength.Benefit: With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strengthmodifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Special: Natural weapons are considered light weapons."


So I guesss it applies to all light weapons + the followed metioned and unarmed fighting/strike.


Am I right?

Weapon Finesse allows you to use Dexterity as your "to hit" modifier with *all* light weapons in both Pathfinder and 3.5E. The wording is exactly the same. The only difference is that PF removes the Base Attack requirement.
 


I believe it is only 3.0 (not 3.5) that required a single weapon to be specified for use with Weapon Finesse.
 

Minor nitpick: Choosing which weapon got the benefit of finesse was 3.0 edition only, 3.5 matches pathfinder in applying to all specified weapons.
