Have you looked at the tags on a Weapon Finesse weapon to see what the tag is that tells HL that Weapon Finesse applies? That is where I would start to find the tag.
So add a rapier to a blank character. Then right click on the ? on the weapon and view the Tags for that Thing. See any that maybe what you are looking for?

I tried the Helper.Finesse and ran a test. I used the first code block as Eval Script #1 and the second as #2. In the quotes at the bottom, I put in "Helper.Finesse".
When I ran the test, I got this error:
"Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:
Syntax error in 'eval' script for thing 'cFtrBelPan' (Eval Script '#2') on line 21
-> Non-existent field 'manDisarm' used by script"
I copied and pasted that from another ability, so what's the field ID for the Disarm Maneuver if it's not 'manDisarm'?

That is one of the tags you need. The other one you will need is the Light Weapon Tag. This is because ALL light weapons are automatically finesseable but I am pretty sure don't use the Helper.Finesse tag.
Easier to help if you posted the code along with the error.
manDisarm I am pretty sure is the Thing or Child not a field of manDisarm. You can find the different fields on a Thing actually. Take a look at THIS video and about 4 minutes in I go over how to find fields on Things in HL. This way you will be able to find the fields yourself which makes scripting allot easier.

Ah ok. manDisarm is a Total Level Thing. Sorry best I can think of to describe it. There is not a specific manDisarm for Each Weapon. Also you can never have a field of a field. You can have a field of a child but never a field of a field.
So it goes Hero_Character.Child_Thing.Child_Field.Value_of_ field Hope that makes sense.
So you have a Disarm Value on your Character or Hero not on each weapon.
So what you want is simply:
Code:
hero.child[manDisarm].field[manCMD].value += field[abValue].value
hero.child[manSunder].field[manCMD].value += field[abValue].valueHope that helps.

So the code for Eval Script #2 will be:
Correct?
Code:
field[listname].text = field[thingname].text & " +" & field[xIndex].value
~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)
~ If we're not the first copy, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.FirstCopy] = 0)
field[abValue].value += field[xCount].value
field[abSumm].text = "+" & field[abValue].value & " to hit and damage with Finesse Weapons."
field[livename].text = field[thingname].text & " +" & field[abValue].value
~ If we're encumbered, we're disabled
if (herofield[tEncumLev].value > 0) then
perform assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
done
endif
hero.child[manDisarm].field[manCMD].value += field[abValue].value
hero.child[manSunder].field[manCMD].value += field[abValue].valueCorrect?

Correct it looks good to me.
