04-01-07, 04:31 PM I'm playing a catfolk rogue with a +5 Dex (0_0), and I was wondering if you could use a Quarterstaff with Weapon Finesse? If you think about it, it makes sense, but I'm not sure.

04-01-07, 04:43 PM The off-hand attack of a Quarterstaff (used with TWF) is considered Light, and is thus Finessable.

In my game, I'd allow it -- maybe charge a Feat to grant finessability to quarterstaves & spears -- but that's clearly a house rule. :)

I only can imagine wielding a quarterstaff with finesse if you are using to for tripping but never for hitting someone in the head.
