Alright so the feat is nice. Adding Int to damage and all that. But it says instead of other ability score bonus or modifier. Now I am trying to just make sure. This means it replaces str to hit and dmg but would stack with say a bard's bonuses right?
I don't get why they didn't just say it replaces str of so.
It only replaces the bonus of modifier to damage that you would gain from an attribute (such as str or dex). All other abilities (such as a bard's inspire courage or a magical weapon) would still apply.
It's said in a more general sense because some odd builds add different kinds of things to their damage rolls, and it wants to cover all of the bases.
In case you had weapon finesse or a class feature like the Unchained rogue, maybe.
I just wanted to be sure. Since it is the first I have seen wordee like that.
