A Kensei/NinjaSpy question

[MiriaP]

Hi I'm new to this game. Let's say: I have gotten the 'One with The Blade' Kensai enhancement with an equipped Falchion, and i have attained both Basic and Advanced Ninja Training.
1) Does my Falchion have DEX attack and damage mods applied to it?
2) Does the damage modifier for this two handed weapon remain as 1.5*STR or does it change to 1.5*DEX?

I'm pretty confused because the in-game description says it applies to 'light' weapons. Anyone who tested it out help please?

to the best of my knowledge, there are no light two-handed melee weapons

Ninja Training should only apply DEX to dmg if your DEX is higher than your STR; otherwise it should still default to STR. I think Turbine fixed it so that it applies 1.5*DEX mod (rather than just the DEX mod alone), but have not tested myself.

Well. I think I've read about there being ONE such in the game; named, BTA on acquire? ... http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Shining_Crescents



Oh well. Don't have Monk myself anyway, but if the wiki is correct, I do believe you should indeed in that situation get dex to both hit and damage with any melee weapon you're centered with... doesn't say anything it having to be a light weapon in the wiki. (Minimum 8 fighter/3 monk normally - or 8 fighter/1 monk in case of elf with racial weapon, falchion is on that list.)

I've tested it with Greataxes and it works. I see no reason why Falchions would be any different.

Darn. Beat me to it. *grin*

Ninja training does not require weapon finesse - that's improved weapon finesse in ranger DWS line (I believe DWS, could be another ranger tree). Ninja Spy applies DEX to hit and dmg with any slash or Pierce melee (changed due to being borked with bows) weapon you are centered with, including kensai focus weapon with One With the Blade. Wielding khopeshes I have both DEX and STR mod listed for to-hit, taking the higher of the two.

Whether you get 1.5x mod with two handed weaps I have not tested but should be easy to test with iconic.
