From ACG:

Slashing Grace (Combat)
You can stab your enemies with your sword or another
slashing weapon.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus
with chosen weapon.
Benefit: Choose one kind of one-handed slashing
weapon (such as the longsword). When wielding your
chosen weapon one-handed, you can treat it as a
one-handed piercing melee weapon for all feats and
class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a
swashbuckler’s or a duelist’s precise strike) and you can
add your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength
modifier to that weapon’s damage. The weapon must be
one appropriate for your size.

How does this interact with Two-Weapon fighting? Do you only add 1/2 your Dex bonus to your off-handed weapon or the entire bonus? If only half is added, would the Double Slice feat allow you to add your full Dex?

Since you're using your Dex instead of your str I'd say yes and yes.


Look up AGILE weapons for this. I'm pretty sure it's half dex and Double slice dons't work for it, since Double Slice calls out STR. But hey this one doesn't have the wording for half like AGILE weapons does maybe it's full DEX to both.


I thought of what Chess Pwn said before too and for a brief moment thought this could be cool but then decided it was just a hiccup at the editing desk just like so many other things in the first printing. i would expect clarification soon that its half dex to the off hand and no double slice.


you can add your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier

when it says STR, replace with DEX. So when it says 1/2 STR, it is instead 1/2 DEX

Makes sense Dave, but, by that logic, Double Slice would apply, no?

Ah yes, good catch on that one.
