Sword Cane: Weapon Finesse

[W E Ray]

Can one use a Sword Cane with Weapon Finesse?

It seems as though it should but it doesn't go out of its way in the APG to say 'yes,' and I don't know if by chance if there is any errata regarding it.

Yes, it is finesseable.

This slender light blade lies within a wooden container that serves as both its scabbard and hiding place. You can draw the blade as a swift action (or a free action if you have the Quick Draw feat). An observer must succeed at a DC 20 Perception check to realize an undrawn sword cane is a weapon rather than a walking stick; the DC decreases to 10 if the observer is able to handle the weapon. You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a sword cane sized for you, even though it isn't a light weapon. You can't wield a sword cane in two hands in order to apply 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier to damage.

Thanks.

(For the record, it does *not* say that in the second printing APG.)

It does say that in the 2nd printing of Ultimate Equipment (May 2016) :)
