Does the Weapon Finesse feat also apply dex bonuses to damage instead of the strength bonus or is it only to-hit?
If you take a weapon finesse feat but you have a strength item that makes your strength > dexterity, will the software use whichever is greater or will it always use the dex?
The wiki lists multiple finesse feats - one per weapon. Is weapon finesse - dagger a different feat than weapon finesse for a different weapon?

Its just to-hit; weapon finesse lets you get (ac and to-hit) from one stat and (damage) from another, instead of (ac) from one and (hit and damage) from the other.
It will use the greater, but if there's any chance your str/dex are close enough that it would be a factor, you are best off not taking the feat.
There's just one feat in-game, I would disregard the compendium in this case.

Ah okay - I knew it worked that way in 3.5 P&P but something I read said that it used the dex instead of the strenth bonuses (plural) - guess it was a typo in the compendium.
