What do you think about it? the rules in question can result in two different ends, depending on how you interpret and which things preceded the others.
So, what do you think? what's the plus and the minus side of those two interpretation, and which one carries more weight by RAW? Please includes reference if you can, please

Just my opinion:
source: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/combat.html As we can see, this is placed on the 'add Strength modifier to damage' part. As the Agile say that you can choose to apply Dexterity in place of Strength, then I would side with the first one. The same with Elven Curve Blade it seems; add 1-1/2 Dex bonus, as consequences. However, Since in this campaign everyone can get agile weapon too easily, it will give too many benefits to Finesse warrior. Whether this is an intended objective or not, this is CGM's territory.

However, there are a specific passage in the agile weapon description, and i believe specific trumps general rules "This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is still reduced for off-hand weapons." Even if it's already increased to full strength, wouldn't it still be reduced back to half DEX? Or, which one is the more specific rules, which one trumps another?

Ah, I skipped that part. So no 1.5x then. About the 2-wpn, I still assume that they assume normal state: no Double Slice. However, I personally prefer for not skewing the balance favor too much towards finesse two-weapon fighting. |

Well, then the RAI might be full dex to damage? RAW, it's still reduced to 1/2? welp, I pick RAW too. I tend to believe the off-hand will still do only 1/2 Dex damage. However, i'm quite reluctant on dropping the gavel, since i haven't heard from another people. what about by fluff and flavor, any interpretation? |

Considering: 1. Every Weapon Finesse users also gain Agile weapon for free, in a campaign difficult of gaining magic item 2. Every Two-weapon fighting users also gain double slice, and manu others. I am on the side of no bonus from double slice for finesse dual wielder. Otherwise Innocent would be very happy to take all the free bonuses. |
