Luckily I am the GM for this game and I am allowing our rogue to take this because without this he does 1d3-1 damage with daggers outside of his sneak attacks.
Right - I explained that badly. Any single weapon which you can use Weapon Finesse with. (Not that you'd want it on something you can't use Weapon Finesse with anyway.)

Also if you wanted to use dex based damage for a scimitar then you would just take Dervish Dance.
right, there is a weapon which can use slashing grace and weapon finesse without houserule, you need whip mastery (and usually exotic weapon proficiency:whip) on top of weapon finesse, weapon focus:whip and slashing grace.

If Slashing Grace works with all light weapons, then Swashbuckler's Finesse works with all light weapons as well.
Benefit: Choose one kind of light or one-handed slashing weapon (such as the longsword)...
Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex): At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons...
That's the same sentence structure. No one's ever suggested that Swashbucklers get to Finesse light maces. And if they decide to FAQ Slashing Grace to work with all light weapons, they'll have to accept that the same reasoning applies to Swashbucklers.

Is that FAQ official yet, or is still pending?

It seems it doesn't work with shorswords.

Done.
I'm not sure why they don't? I've used that, and its predecessor the Time of Battle, extensively and I've yet to encounter any sort of broken shenanigans that I often see with simple spellcasters. Its a fun supplement and a reason why I still occasionally play Pathfinder

Do you mind homebrew, my group uses this feat:
Dervish.
Your attacks are precise enough to nick even the best protected arteries.
Prerequisites: Weapon finesse or One hander. Weapon focus . Base attack bonus +3.
When you fight with a weapon for which you possess weapon focus and that can benefit from the Weapon finesse feat you may use your dexterity modifier in place of your strength modifier for weapon damage rolls.

I'm not entirely sure you need something home-brewed?
There's
