Rules Questions


Hi,
I was wondering if there's a feat that allows wisdom to be used for attack roles instead of strength, or dexterity. I know there was one in DnD 3.5, but, I'm wondering, is there is one in PF, that is legal with PFS standards?

Guided Hand.

You need to have Channel Energy and Channel Smite to take it, and it only works with your deity's favored weapon.

It's from UC.


There's also the guided weapon property, but I don't think it's 100% legitimate in all versions of Pathfinder.

Scarab Sages

There is also taking three levels of Zen Archer Monk to use wisdom to hit for bows, or two levels of Sensei Monk to use wisdom to hit with Unarmed Strike and Monk Weapons. Not a feat, but it it is a way to use WIS to hit.

Which is to say it is from 3.5, not Pathfinder. If your DM allows 3.5 stuff, then you're in luck.


The legitmacey of guided weapon is dubious at best. It came from an Adventure Path (I believe, and back during 3.5 IIRC). It also costs far too little for it's benefit. I might consdiering allowing it for the cost of a +3 weapon bonus, but at my tables I outright don't allow it. Neither does PFS for what its worth.

Guided is Pathfinder, but 3.5 Pathfinder, like when RotRL Pathfinder.

So, whilst many DMs will not allow most 3.5 stuff, some of the Pathfinder 3.5 stuff is usually just seen as allowable.


Yar!

In addition to Guided Hand mentioned above, there is also Ki Diversity for monks. It is Golarion specific in that it has a prestige requirement with the Kusari-Gama Faction (though it also recommends an RP requirement and level 7 for non-Golarion specific campaign). One of it's sub-options is Zen Combatant, which allows you (at the cost of 1 Ki point) to use your wisdom instead of strength or dex for all melee and ranged attacks for 1 round.

hhmm... Guided Hand only lets you use Wisdom for attack rolls (it specifically calls out "rolls", while Ki Diversity: Zen Combatant only says "attacks"... some people would argue that means attack roll and damage roll, while others would argue that the inclusion or exclusion of the word "roll" is inconsequential.
