One handed weapon finessable weapon


Advice

The Exchange

Does anyone know of a weapon finess able one handed weapon that does high base damage. The best I could find was the aklys which is a throwing club (d8). I probably missed some weapons that mention they can be finessed in their description.

Even something other than a club would be appreciated since while awesome and can be thrown it is not the style I want. Priority limitations: is that its a paizo weapon for pathfinder, it needs to be one handed, after that just high damage dice, followed by being cool, then damage type.

The abilities I want to play with are below, never rolling damage sounds fun.

perfect strike:
Perfect Strike (Ex)

At 4th level, when a kensai hits with his chosen weapon, he can spend 1 point from his arcane pool in order to maximize his weapon damage. Don’t roll for damage—the weapon deals maximum damage. This affects only the weapon’s base damage dice, not additional damage from sneak attack, magical weapon properties, spellstrike, or critical hits. If the kensai confirms a critical hit, he can instead spend 2 points from his arcane pool to increase his weapon’s critical multiplier by 1.

This ability replaces spell recall.

measured response:
You believe that a conservative but consistent response guarantees success.

Prerequisites: Worshiper of Abadar, base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: When you hit an opponent with a melee or ranged attack, you may choose to deal average damage (rounded down), as if you had rolled exactly the average amount on the damage die or dice. You add your damage bonuses and penalties as normal.

Thanks for the Elvan curve blade suggestion, I should have stated this is for a magus and I want to use spell combat which requires a free hand. That's probably the best if I want to ignore the magus spell combat ability. I'm hesitant since its a large part of the class.


To sweeten the dueling blade suggestion:

Sword Scion Kingmaker trait

Swordlord's Page Regional Trait

Aldori Dueling mastery feat

Liberty's Edge

Scimitar with Dervish Dance feat : DEX instead of STR for both to hit and damage.


Regarding the Aldori Dueling mastery feat.

It's a +2 to AC when wielding the blade one handed, a +1 when two handed.

Hypothetically, if you used a Strength build (silly I know re: pre-reqs) you could attack two handed with Power Attack and 1.5x your str mod and then as a free action at the end of your turn remove one hand from the blade?

Probably RAW but certainly not RAI. I would not accept it, and I accept dudes drawing and removing their quickdraw shields as free actions to THF with their primary weapon.


Sawtooth Sabre. Same set up as the Aldori Dueling Sword. Longsword stats but must take Exotic Weapon Prof to make it finesse able. Otherwise, you can use it as just a standard Martial Weapon

I thought the special of those was that they count as light for determining penalties for TWF. Are they finessable in addition to that?

No.

A sawtoothed sabre may be used as a Martial Weapon (in which case it functions as a longsword), but if you have the feat Exotic Weapon Proficiency (sawtoothed sabre), you treat the weapon as if it were a light weapon for the purpose of two-weapon fighting—the sabre remains classified as a one-handed melee weapon for all other purposes.

It only counts as a light weapon for determining what penalties you take when two-weapon fighting. It's still a one-handed weapon for all other purposes meaning it can't be finessed, can't be used for Piranha Strike, can't take the Agile enhancement, can't be concealed on your person like a light weapon, or work with any other rules element that requires a light weapon.


Haha you're gonna hate me but... black blade scorpion whip magus.
