Using Dex as Damage Modifier for Handwraps

[Sesta]

Is there any way to use dexterity as damage modifier for wraps? I know you can use weapon finesse for hit. I am open for any build ideas or splases.

Nope. You also can't get INT to dmg with unarmed atks from Strategic Combat.

Okay so the next question, what are the best ways to get the most unarmed damage you can, stay pure, multiclass? Any opinions on that?

Tree and "cheat"-wolf builds fight unarmed and would be my best bet for highest unarmed damage atm. If you want to stay in humanoid form and hit things with wraps I wouldn't be surprised if 14 paladin / 6 monk was the best multiclass build and 20 barb using wraps was the best "pure" unarmed build. Now if you want to stay humanoid, hit things with wraps and a monk icon showing.. 15monk / 5 paladin?

I've been mulling over some possible splits with 14 Pal/6 Mnk (assuming Holy Sword works with wraps), 12 Mnk/5 Rgr/3 Pal or 10 Mnk/6 Rgr/4 Pal (assuming Dance of Death works with handwraps) or perhaps 14 Pal/5 Rgr/1 Mnk (assuming both works). It'd be really sad if the latter works, and the best unarmed DPs comes from 1 level Monk.

Holy sword does not increase unarmed crit range. Kotc cleaves proc twice unarmed, but deal lower damage than a normal hit.

str based with divine might (cleric/fvs/paly)

as an aside: Does anyone happen to know if bard swift strikes work with handwraps, I know that means no monk in the build but was curious anyway.
I am guessing not, but have not tested it. If someone knows I'll update my table

Different Tack only applies to SWF; handwraps are not 1H weapons, ergo they don't work with SWF, ergo Different Tack doesn't work w/wraps.

if you were going to do a single weapon monk in wind stance, would the speeds stack?

SWF is a Combat Style bonus; Wind stance is an enhancement bonus; so yes, they stack. But note that Wind stance speed bonus doesn't stack with Haste, so effectively you're really using it for the doublestrike bonus.
