A simple question. It allows for a light weapon or weapon that can be used with weapon finesse to use the DEX modifier instead of STR modifier for bonus damage on damage rolls. I can't recall what supplement this comes from exactly, so I can't verify if this is allowed in PFS. Thanks for any help!
It's from the Pathfinder Society Field Guide, and yes, it's legal (and fairly popular among those who've noticed it).
I do not have the Field Guide handy, but the info for it is on d20pfsrd.com as well. You do need to have the Weapon Finesse feat for this weapon enhancement to do any good, though. Also, lucky for you, since the Field Guide is part of the Core Assumption, you are not required to bring a copy of the book to a game in order to prove it is legal to use.
It is the equivalent of a +1 for cost, but the weapon still has to be at least +1 to begin with before you can add an enhancement. So you will need gold and a minimum amount of Fame before you can add Agile to a weapon, however much is needed for a +2 weapon, basically. I will look it up and edit it in if someone does not beat me to it.

It states that the price is "+1 bonus"
So it costs 2000gp to put this on a masterwork weapon?
Actually, weapons have to have at least a +1 bonus already on them before you can add special enhancements.
So you'd need to start with a +1 weapon (2,000gp + masterwork weapon), then upgrade it. This would make it a +2 equivalent weapon, which costs 8,000gp + the masterwork weapon. If you already have a +1 weapon, then you can just pay the difference (6,000gp) to upgrade from +1 to +1 Agile.
Thanks Jiggy and LazarX. :) I knew someone would remember the numbers without having to look them up first.
And with a cost of over 8000 gold, you would need at least 27 Fame before you could get a +1 Agile weapon, regardless of buying it all at once or upgrading.

With one notable exception: an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists. You only need 18 fame for the 5000 GP cost. Go dex monk go! (Just watch your encumbrance.)

To be clear, this is because the Amulet doesn't require you to start with a +1, not because the PFS purchasing rules make an exception or anything.

And, for further clarification, both Weapon Finesse *and* Agile don't stack. They each do the same thing (exchange your Str for Dex in terms of melee damage) and don't double the effect (you don't do Dex*2 damage on attacks with both). So either get the feat, or get the enchantment, but there's no need to have both.

Ummm...
Weapon Finesse lets you use your Dexterity bonus as a modifier on melee weapon attack rolls.
Agile lets you use your Dexterity bonus as a modifier on melee weapon damage rolls.
So, no, they don't stack...but that's because they do two different things.

WalterGM Fail again... ;)Derp, I meant Dervish Dance >.<They wouldn't work that well together, anyhow.
Dervish Dance requires a scimitar.
Scimitars are not eligible for the Agile enhancement...
Man, I am so full of fail recently. It's gotta be this inclement weather. MAKE UP YOUR MIND WASHINGTON STATE!!
