Magus Black Blade and Dervish Dance?


Rules Questions


Does the Dervish Dance feat not apply to a scimitar Black Blade, or it is a Hero Lab bug?

I configured a Magus with that feat and weapon, as well as a regular scimitar. It give me the correct bonus to hit with both, except it does not give me the damage bonus with the Black Blade, only the normal scimitar.

Thoughts?


Did your build have weapon finesse by any chance?

My experience with Hero Lab is limited, but I'm guessing that it's a glitch. Dervish Dance should work as normal with a Black Blade scimitar.

Hero Lab provided the correct numbers for my bladebound magus builds.


He's built with Weapon Finesse and Dance +2. Like I said it's correct with a normal scimitar, but with a Black Blade scimitar it only gives me the + to hit, not to damage.

And you're also getting the + to damage as well?


It sounds like Hero Lab thinks the Black Blade is a light weapon (hence weapon finesse bonus) but not recognizing that the Black Blade is a scimitar. Again, my experience with Hero Lab is more or less non-existent. Is there any option you can tweak to define the weapon?
