Everburning Torch finesse

[Zutox]

Okay, so I thought to myself, "Hey, it would be really cool to have a dude be a flamewarden and dual wield the everburning torches!" I mean, I know it's not optimized for damage or anything, but it should still be "possible"
So I made the character, opted to use weapon finesse since the torch is only 1 lb and a shortsword is twice that and is still finessable, so I figured I was well in the clear. Also, a 1d3 weapon really could only be a finessable weapon....I thought.

Turns out that it's not, and I couldn't find any weapon specialization for it either.
I wonder if this might get fixed in any of the future patches, and I can keep my guy, or if I should just start over?

I don't know if it should be.
In D&D if you attack with a torch personally i'd have a chance for it to go out or if you fight with one in your hand you might drop it.

I know they went another direction with torches but they really shouldn't be weapons you attack with strength or dex. but just something you can use to light swarms of bugs on fire is okay.

also what i do is put torch on my sorc who casts spells for when im in a cave

Torches are either improvised weapons or clubs, both of which use STR.

From my personal experince with torches, they are definitely clubs from size and weight.

Yeah but, it's an Everburning Torch. So basically, a stick with an everburning magical fire on it. Since it's everburning, it won't go out.
I just want to hit things with sticks that are on fire :(
