Double weapon finesse?

[mage4fun]

Hello everyone, I have a question that I could use a good answer to :-)

I am playing an Oracle with the blind curse and the GM will allow me to have an exotic (or martial) double bladed weapon to utilize. My priority is for a weapon in which I can take Weapon Finesse. My character is Chma and Dex high, so I want to take advantage of my Dex to be able to hit. Any ideas?

How important is it that it's a double weapon? I ask for this reason:

Double weapons are two-handed weapons, and therefore not eligible for Weapon Finesse. If you TWF with one, it's treated as a light weapon and a one-handed weapon, which would let you Finesse one end at a time (this is one rule of Pathfinder I really don't like).

If you're after a Finessable double weapon, you'll need to ask your GM for a favorable houserule. If you want something Finessable that feels similar and is simply two-handed but not a double weapon, then try the Elven Curve Blade or Spiked Chain.

Bladed Scarf is another two-handed EWP weapon that is Finessable.

The double weapon was for the look of the character. I have looked at a couple of Eberon books to see the Drow scorpion chain and the spinning sword and they both looked like cool weapons for the blind oracle. I am just looking at different things to have the PC look cool.

Blade scarf ???

Knowing their unkind reputation and that their seductive performances can sometimes bring out the worst in watchers, some Varisians craft rows of razor-sharp blades into their scarves. While one side is all color and sequins, the other hides a deadly weapon. The skill required in using such scarves effectively and not revealing their deadly nature makes them exotic weapons.

Description: If you are proficient with a bladed scarf, you deal 1d4 points of slashing damage to any creature that makes a successful grapple check against you.

You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls with a bladed scarf sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you.

Damage is 1d6 for medium, with a normal crit range, and its a Trip and Disarm weapon. It's not all that great a weapon, unless the sneakiness makes a difference to you. But within its niche its pretty awesome.

Thanks, that definitely has possibilities. You have all been very helpful, thanks.
