Is there a build for DEX elven curved sword?

[MORROGANDER]

I know that I can pick Weapon Finesse to use DEX for attack rolls, but I can't find a feat to use DEX for damage rolls.
is elven curved sword viable for DEX build?

3 levels of Rogue. DEX-to-damage with one weapon type. This also gives you Weapon Finesse for free.

Slashing Grace would work if it was one-handed but it's not.

is a feat in D&D to do it but it's an old 3.5 so it's probably not in the game, so yea cross class is your best hope.

Slashing Grace is a feat in this game that specifically does this for 1H weapons of a specific type chosen by the player. But the curve blade is 2H, so it's a no-go.

3 rogue levels on a Fighter chassis isn't a bad idea though if you're planning to do any dipping anyway.

I 'm thinking to build a DEX sword saint with 2 handed weapon for max melee damage(I hate rapier, ain't cool), it seems I have to give up weapon mastery for this build.....

Magus isn't restricted to 1 handed if you want to use spell combat?

There is other dex based 1 handed, like estoc (I think it's 1h in this game?)

Would love to know if it works out for you in this game. Always like that curved blade build. Could never play one on PP.

Always had to role a spell caster cause *cough* other players *cough* su❤️ked.

Nay, I wanna give up spell combat in this build, -2 attack roll is huge... somehow
The idea is to channel touch spells into 2-handed weapon to do max damage

You can't, you need a free-hand, unless you are an Eldricht Archer using a bow.

Spell strike can channel into 2-handed, I tried.

Well, that is a bug then :)

not really, the description said you can channel into ANY weapon.

Spell combat:
"To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. "

Spellstrike:
"At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. "

If you can use 2handed weapons, it is a mistake from the devs side

Spellstrike:
"At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through ANY weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. "
It said ANY, what do you mean by that...

To cast the spell, you need a free hand - it has always been like that.
Otherwise all Magus builds, would be elves with Keen Elven Curveblades and not Rapiers or Schimitars...

Spell combat and Spellstrike are treated as 2 seperated abilities, as far as I'm awared so far in this game.
