AnonymousCome curious interaction.
Dexterous attack
Also overrides spellcasting scaling when str is lower than dex.
Example
Stats
Str 12. Dex 14. Wis 16.
With shillelagh. It would do 1d8+2 dex.
But if stats is
str 14 dex 12 wis 16
It would do 1d8+3 wis.
AnonymousSo if i understand this right i can say dual wield two longswords(dual wield feat) that dont have finesse and they will scale with dex? Then i can take tavern brawler and drink a hill strength elixir and get both dex + str on attack rolls and damage?

AnonymousWould your dex then be used to calculate the distance you can throw your weapons or is that still based on strength?

AnonymousDoes this apply dex to the double roll for the tavern brawler feat?

Anonymousseems bugged. I have higher STR but my unarmed attacks use dex...

AnonymousWhat constitutes a Monk weapon? Gith should be able to use greatswords... since they are proficient but my Gith monk is not receiving the bonus from Monk weapons. Any ideas?
