Choose one type of one-handed slashing weapon.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Weapon Finesse, proficient with
chosen weapon.
Benefit: When wielding your chosen weapon one
handed, you can treat it as a one-handed piercing weapon
for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon
(such as swashbuckler’s precise strike). The weapon must
be one for your size.
Nothing in the feat would prohibit it from working with a Bastard Sword or Katana used one-handed.
1: Yes
2: No.
With how crit happy the swashbuckler is you would better off with a katana. Mechanically is it worth it? Not really. Is it flavorful to 'fence' with a bastard sword - hell ya.

the main negative I can see is that it does a good job of ensuring you cannot use it two handed 'in a pinch' as if you're a dex based character (mine is..) you'll be unable to benefit from even using dex to hit anymore.
currently he has a longsword and piranha strike along with weapon focus, extra panache, combat reflexes and slashing grace.
FYI, he's actually got a number of wizard levels and in his first fight (where he was solo) he managed to survive and win against 4 enemies with about 50hp each and 3 attacks each, wasn't allowed to buff before fight as he got ambushed, but using haste, mirror image and heroism with the above seemed to work pretty well
Piranha Strike doesn't work with a long sword. It must be a light weapon for it to function.
Just remember, if you do this you are effectively giving up a feat for 1 damaged per attack. When you think about it, it's probably not worth it.
Surely, excluding slashing grace - playing a Half Elf makes it not as prohibitive a move?
Which, if you want to burn a feat on EWP, I'd say is league preferable to anything else.
here's a good question, does slashing grace allow you to use weapons finesse on the chosen weapon i.e. a Saw-tooth Saber?

With a level of Swashbuckler it would. Without a level of swash it works on two weapons that I know of - the whip and the Aldori Dueling Sword.
Ok, I gotta ask since I've seen it mentioned/referenced on so many threads: What's with the whole "don't talk about bastard swords on the forums" thing?
Threads like this make blackbloodtroll cry himself to sleep.

guess I need to re do my elf slayer
'cause the question was about combining slashing grace with weapon finesse as not a swashbuckler. scorpion whip was the only way I found.
Scorpion whip is a light weapon, so you can't use it with Slashing Grace.

No.
