I think if you take weapon finesse you should have the option on damage to either use your strength modifer or 1/2 your dexterity modifer to the damage. Which ever is higher. I mean this charcter has obviously devoted himself to speed this attack.
There are some classes that give Dex to damage, but it is pretty hard to come by (and hard to attain). Dex is more placement of the attack; damage is how much force behind the attack and the style of the weapon.

No he has devoted himself to the use of agility in attacking. Strength is speed.
Good point Reddog, I don't think Weapon Finesse should increase damage though. However, I would love to see another feat that would enable increased damage for weapon finesse-users. At the moment, the only viable build for a weapon-finesse melee-fighter to do any decent damage is to take levels in the Rogue class. And that's just not right.
A feat such as Power Attack, but that uses Dexterity instead of Strength would solve the issue too I feel.
With the old power attack rules you just had to have a str of 13 and you were set. You just had to have a high enough power attack.
But with this new system, power attack is only good for fighters with a lot of strength, mainly barbarians.
