Here are two versions of a homebrew feat for this very thing that I am working on. Let me know what you guys think (I play 3.5, but that shouldn't matter...)
Free Hand Master [Combat]
You are adept at fighting with a weapon in one hand while the other is empty.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Weapon Finesse, Base attack bonus +1
Benefit: While wielding a one-handed weapon for which the weapon finesse feat applies in one hand, with nothing in the other, you may apply your Dexterity modifier to damage instead of your Strength modifier. This feat only applies if you are wearing light or no armor, and not using a shield.
--OR--
Free Hand Master [Combat]
You are adept at fighting with a weapon in one hand while the other is empty.
Prerequisites: Dex 15, Weapon Finesse, Base attack bonus +1
Benefit: While wielding a one-handed weapon for which the weapon finesse feat applies in one hand, with nothing in the other, you may apply half of your Dexterity modifier to damage in addition to your Strength modifier. This feat only applies if you are wearing light or no armor, and not using a shield. Considering adding this caveat: This damage is considered precision damage.
