| Aug 30, 2013 at 20:42 | comment | added | Ellesedil | Unfortunately, the rules as written don't seem to allow you to make that conclusion for trick shot. It may have been the intent, but who really knows? There's at least a very easy solution, even if it costs a feat to do so. It might also be beneficial to post this question to a place where Paizo will be able to review it. | |

| Aug 30, 2013 at 18:36 | comment | added | Ellesedil | I believe the Weapon finesse errata is only mentioned in the question to establish a precedence of using dex mod to add to combat maneuver roles. The real question is to determine if Trick Shot allows you to add dex mod instead of str mod when normally attacking with a bow already uses dex. | |
| Aug 30, 2013 at 17:51 | comment | added | Phill.Zitt | @CanCanbek Using the DEX mod does not make it a 'finesse' weapon. The Errata specifically names 'finessable weapons'. I am confused by your confusion. | |
