Finesse

For an explanation of all weapon properties, see Weapons.

 Finesse is a weapon attribute that allows characters to use either their Strength or Dexterity (whichever is higher) with the weapon, adding that ability modifier to attack rolls and damage rolls. Only weapons with this attribute can be used by a rogue to make a  Sneak Attack. However, contrary to implications from in-game descriptions of these weapons, only the Strength modifier is used for attack rolls of  Thrown weapons with the Finesse property, even if the wielder's Dexterity score is higher.
