Dex Based Non Rogue Dual Wielding Finesse


Advice


Aside from the Unchained rogue, what are my options for a character with a good Dex bonus for ac, and can dual wield finesse weapons and is there a feat that allows the use of dex bonus for damage as well as to hit for melee weapons? My Book Access is limited to the CRB, ACG, APG, ARG, Pathfinder Unchained, Ultimate Combat, and Ultimate equipment.


I believe all such options were removed. But dipping 3 levels of unchained rogue isn't that bad.


Two Agile weapons

Thats really not feasible for pfs. You can't get a +2 weapon much before level 6ish , and PFs is halfway done by them.

I agree that two agile weapons is fairly unfeasible for an entire build in PFS. The only way potential I see around it is a DEX monk with an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists, even the though you're looking at flurrying not really dual wielding. Otherwise an unchained monk is by far the most viable option. (In fact my DEX monk has 4 levels of Unchained Rogue as I found the dip far more viable.)

In theory its doable just not with any of the material in the book.

An Occultist could buy one Agile weapon and use Legacy Weapon to add Agile to a second weapon.

(The OP would need to purchase Occult Adventures, of course.)

bit of a stretch, but getting arcane bond and Butterfly sword maybe????

you still need the fame requirement for your bond don't you?

The Exchange

true but it would still keep the price down to the cost of a single weapon. (since you have to pay for both blades)
*edit*
I concede to BNWolf the price of the weapon will also double causing fame issues

Occultist really wouldn't need to. They can have a high strength and a high dexterity at the same time.

Another option from Occult Adventures is the medium's champion spirit. It doesn't add dex to damage, but it does give you a spirit and seance bonus, which adds up to +3 damage from level 1, increasing by +1 every 3 or 4 levels. I actually took a single level medium dip on an unchained rogue just to be better in combat.

The Champion Spirit is really nice. A Haunt Occultist can take that as early as 2nd level.


There's an advanced weapon training option that lets you double your weapon training bonus for dealing damage with TWF is you use weapon finesse, and still get STR to damage.


I am unable to afford any new books at this time.

Also im going with a Tengu so if it's a sword he can use it... but planning on wakizashi

Before the move, this was in the PFS forums, and that feat was never PFS legal.

This is a good option.

Another is Unchained Barbarian, the damage boost is quite significant and favores TWF over THF.

Unarmed strike is a reasonably cheap option because agile amulets are only 4000gp.

TWF, Weapon Finesse and Improved Unarmed Strike. Class options

- Bralwers by level 2,

- 1 level of Urban, Blood Conduit, Bloodrager on a human gets it going at level 1. You can even have alignment good with this at level 1.

- Fighter with fighter's finesse. Is a good option.
