Add Intelligence instead Strenght on attack rolls?

[Jack Brightbuilder]

I would like to know if there is any chance to do it, because I can't find anywhere, and I didn't see any old threads about this point of the game.

Thanks in advance!!

Knowledge is Power adds Int to CMB and CMD.
I don't know any other ways

Factotum from 3.5 had Int to Attack, it was made by the boys who created Pathfinder and according to some of them could be ported over without much change (Change Piety for Channel)

You can do it with Magus in some cases. The Kensai archetype in particular. You can consolidate pretty much all of your combat ability into Dexterity and Intelkigence.

Prehensile Hair hex allows you to do it on a witch or hexcrafter magus, but only with the hair.

[Gisher]

A witch can do this with Prehensile Hair.

Edit: Ninja'd by 40 seconds. :)

Really thanks to anyone!
I will beg for the houserule to apply int to attack.
I'm a Kensai with a Lot of Int...

[Gisher]

For a Magus the Arcane Accuracy Magus Arcana is the obvious thing to use. It does better than replace Str (or Dex) with Int; it adds an insight bonus equal to your Int modifier on top of your Str (or Dex).

[Ragoz]

Telekinesis uses your bab+int for the Violent Thrust attacks.

This work only for damage on hits, not to attack rolls.

But thanks to all!!

That will be using a Swift each round of melee and 1 point, so I will run out very quickly.

Still researching anything ;)

Uh, if you just need damage...
1. Get flamboyant arcana.
2. Get arcane deed. Choose the precise strike deed from Swashbuckler.
3. Enjoy.

[My Self]

Also consider picking up Arcane Strike.

[Azten]

There's some debate over arcane deed getting precise strike to work because Arcane Deed doesn't allow you to use your magus levels in place of swashbuckler levels.

Actually you are wrong.

Arcane Deed (Ex): Prerequisite(s) Flamboyant arcana

Benefit(s) When a magus takes this arcana, he can pick any one deed from the swashbuckler class feature as long as that deed can be used by a swashbuckler of his magus level. The magus can use that deed by using points from his arcane pool as the panache points required for that deed. A magus can take this arcana multiple times, each time gaining a new deed.

The feat itsealf state that the magus will need enough levels to reach the swashbuckler to use the ability.

[Kalindlara]

It might be best to link to one of the existing threads on that topic for further reading and discussion (in that thread).

[Imbicatus]

Any ambiguity should be fixed in the errata that is going to be arriving very shortly. A magus can use precise strike with arcane deed. If they can use it while using spell combat is a different question.

[Cavall]

I'd grab hex crafter magus for the hair. That's about as good as you'll get but it's something.

It doesn't let you use magus for swashbuckler, only to determine what deeds you can choose. 6th level magi can pick deeds a 6th level swashbuckler can. Magi don't need the damage boost.
