Battalion Brew (requires Alchemist level 4): INT to hit and damage with Simple weapons.

These are spells but should probably be included: Insightful Strikes and Insightful Damage give INT to hit and damage, respectively, to crossbows or one-handed melee weapons. You can only have one buff at a time.

BTW Swashbuckler's Different Tack will work with light crossbows if you have Inquisitive's Dashing Inquisition. It's the only way to get DEX to damage with a crossbow AFAIK.

Also missing Divine Dream, the 6 levels of sacred fist feat which grants charisma to hit/damage while centered.

Updated for Different tack with inquisitive & divine dream,
-do we know if divine dream works with any weapon as long as your centered? or is it just wraps/simple?

As far as spells go that change to hit or dam I am not including them in this.

 

[unbongwah]

Battalion Brew is a feat, not a spell.

 

[Theo]

thanks missed Battalion Brew

I use divine dream for cha to hit/dmg with vistani sacred fist builds, it works. It also doesn't require the weapon to be favored - been using it with dagger sacred fist morninglord and couldn't get favored daggers until level 23 but had cha to hit/dmg the entire way.

The DDO Wiki has a list of weapons which drop naturally with an attack or damage mod different to the base weapon. You can find it here: https://ddowiki.com/page\Non-standard_attack_and_damage_mods#Weapons

No weapon limitation as long as the SF is centered.

Hi! not sure if this is the right to ask but...
If i use the scimitars flame blade (WIS to attack and damage instead of STR) and i also have the tempest ability to use DEX to attack and damage with scimitars... will it work or do i have to use WIS?

The Flame Blade will then work with both Wis and Dex, so it'll work as you want. No need to be concerned about the Wis component.

Missing comments on orbs and shields. The ones I know myself are Fey, Harper, & FVS don't work for orbs or shields. I don't know if FVS works for shields with T5 Divine Crusader.
