so...Slashing grace+Martial Versatility

Will this make us able to get dex to damage with any weapon? Theoretically it would even let it have dex to damage with a two handed weapon

Is this right?


Gotta be within the same weapon group, so for the most part you will see only use by heavy blades at the moment. You could also get there with flails. When Fencing Grace comes out you also have the option of using light blades.

Weapon Focus, EWP Dueling Sword, Slashing Grace, 4 levels of fighter, and [human].

Damn paizo, you really hate DEX to damage being an option don't you?

Granted, Martial Versatility has been allowing backdoor DEX to damage on heavy blades for a while now because of Dervish Dance. Classes that have fighter training get around this, like cavaliers and magi.


Dang. If only they had a 'Grace' feat for close weapons. My dream of a dual weilding dex-to-damage Fan Fighter would finally be possible. (Without spending 18k gold on two +1 Agile Fans, that is.)

Blades, Light: bayonet, butterfly knife, butterfly sword, chakram, dagger, gladius, hunga munga, kama, katar, kerambit, kukri, madu, pata, quadrens, rapier, sawtooth sabre, scizore, shortsword, sica, sickle, starknife, swordbreaker dagger, sword cane, wakizashi, and war razor.

Flails: battle poi, bladed scarf, chain spear, dire flail, double chained kama, flail, flying blade, heavy flail, kusarigama, kyoketsu shoge, meteor hammer, morningstar, nine-section whip, nunchaku, sansetsukon, scorpion whip, spiked chain, urumi, and whip.

Monk: bo staff, brass knuckles, butterfly sword, cestus, dan bong, double chained kama, double chicken saber, emei piercer, fighting fan, hanbo, jutte, kama, kusarigama, kyoketsu shoge, lungshuan tamo, monk's spade, nine-ring broadsword, nine-section whip, nunchaku, quarterstaff, rope dart, sai, sansetsukon, seven-branched sword, shang gou, shuriken, siangham, temple sword, tiger fork, tonfa, tri-point double-edged sword, unarmed strike, urumi, and wushu dart.

Bolded are some "one handed slashing weapon".

By using the 2 feats you can get dex to damage to:

Fighting fan
Unarmed Strike
Dagger
Wakisashi
All Axes
Meteor Hammer
And many more

There may be more combinations!! at this moment i cant think of more

Be careful. Martial Flexibility allows you to use Slashing Grace with other weapons, but it does NOT eliminate the requirement in Slashing Grace that the weapon be wielded one handed.

In addition, Martial Flexibility would not affect Weapon Finesse, (because it does not apply to a specific weapon) so in many cases you still won't get to use your DEX to hit.
