Weapon Fineness for the wise?


Advice

Grand Lodge

Does anyone know if there is a feat that lets you sub your wisdom score like like weapon fineness does for Dex?


Guided Hand is the only feat I know of and it is restricted to divine characters with channel energy and using a deity's favored weapon. It also has a mythic version to add wisdom mod to damage like weapon finesse has. There is also an ability for the Sensei monk archetype. That's all I know about, but there might be some more obscure feats that I don't know about in a setting book.


It's not a feat, but the Guided weapon enhancement was published in the Curse of the Crimson Throne AP - it's a +1 weapon enhancement that lets you use wisdom instead of strength on attack and damage rolls.

However, it is technically 3.5 material (as it was published before the CRB) and in my opinion it's monstrously underpriced compared to other +1 enhancements like Agile.

Yes Thank you! I knew I saw it somewhere but I couldn't find it. I was looking in book after book to no avail! Couldn't figure out how to google it either. Thanks again.

Do note though, that it requires Channel Smite, which basically has nothing to do with what the Feat does, and most of the time is kind of a wasted Feat in itself. YMMV

(Almost 9th level Cleric, and I have used it one time only.)

I am pretty sure the Guided Weapon was updated to PF though somewhere. I want to say it was in something like the Faction Guide, Adventurer's Armor, or PFS Primer.

It also only works with one weapon, unlike weapon finesse. If you worship a deity with a crappy favored weapon, it may not be worth it.

Sensei works with more weapons, but they are monk weapons so they are generally sub-par with a few exceptions, and it's a two level dip.

If Guided has been updated I'd be very interested in learning the new source. PFSRD still lists AP #10 as the source.
