#8(bit out of order): Second level of the Swordlord prestige class allows you to add dex to damage with an aldori dueling sword. The rogue may now use dex to damage with that type of weapon.
#7: The third level of the Unchained Rogue (and the 11th and 19th levels) allows one to select a single finessable type of weapon. Interestingly, applies to ALL weapons that work with Swashbuckler finesse, + scimitar. #6: Fourth level of a swashbuckler archetype called Whirling Dervish. Errata struck again, but arguably as it was simply a reprint some players might succeed in a case to specifically use the version from Advanced Class Origins, which does not require an empty and unused off-hand. #5: Fencing Grace - gain dex to damage with rapiers, which are already finessable. Errata caused this feat to be slightly less awesome, as you are required to have your off-hand completely empty and doing nothing at all. This means that if you have one level of swashbuckler you can use dex to atk and damage with that weapon. It makes them treated as One handed Piercing weapons. Applies dex to damage to any single light or one handed slashing weapon, but does not make them finessable. #4: Slashing Grace - came out with swashbuckler in ACG. Allows the character to add dex to damage to all finessable weapons. #3: Mythic Weapon Finesse - only available if you have mythic. Treats Scimitar as a one handed piercing weapon, add dex to atk and dmg. Cannot be gained earlier than second level because it requires two ranks in perform dance, except by Bards with the Dawnflower Dervish archetype. #2: Dervish Dance - This feat is for scimitar only.
#DMG 5E DO YOU ADD DEX MOD#
This +1 enhancement can be placed on any finessable weapon, and from that point forward you may add your dex mod instead of your strength mod to damage. To get it out of the way: One of those eleven is the fifth level of Gunslinger and most of its archetypes, which grants dex to damage with firearms (and in one case, crossbows).The second is the fifth level of the Raging Technologist Barbarian Archetype. This post is an info post for everyone who keeps asking about it. There are eleven ways I know of to get dex to damage.
I'm posting this guide to be useful, so if you note anything I missed, let me know please. It came up multiple times in a single three hour span or so on another forum I frequent, so I put this together.
