Dex modifier to damage - 2 part question


Rules Discussion


Regarding DEX modifier to damage. I could only find the 'Thief' from the Rogue's Racket that gave this ability.

Quote from Thief excerpt: When you attack with a finesse melee weapon, you can add your Dexterity modifier to damage rolls instead of your Strength modifier.

I get it for weapons like Dagger, Shortsword and Rapier. It certainly does NOT apply to bows.

However, would it apply to a Dagger or Starknife if thrown? Meaning, would a thrown Starknife (which is a finesse melee weapon) get DEX modifier to hit AND damage?

Lastly, can Dex mod to damage be achieved anywhere else or just from rogue's racket thief ability?

You can use it on thrown weapons. Given that this was also true and well known in the paytest, it still being true is likely intentional.

And Dex to damage is a Thief exclusive ability at the moment.
