Weapon Finesse and CMB

[GeertJan]

Looking at Weapon Finesse

FAQ/Errata
If I have Weapon Finesse, can I apply my Dex bonus to my combat maneuver checks instead of my Strength bonus??
It depends on what combat maneuver you're attempting. Disarm, sunder, and trip are normally the only kinds of combat maneuvers in which you’re actually using a weapon to perform the maneuver, and therefore the weapon’s bonuses apply to the roll. Therefore, if you're attempting a disarm, sunder, or trip maneuver, you can apply your Dex bonus instead of your Str mod on the combat maneuver check (assuming you're using a finessable weapon, of course).


Is it an option to give the trip,sunder,disarm CMB with in the Weapon info
Then we can have a correct CMB for the chosen Weapon.

Level 9 Monk Trip CMB

STR 11
Dex 18
Improved Trip
Greater Trip

Looking at all that is affecting the Trip CMB I like to see this better reflected on the Sheed.

Curently the sheet will give a CMB that is build up with
CMB Base = (+6) ( +6 BAB + STR + Size )
Attack Bonuses (+3) (Maneuver Training bonus)
Total + 9
Trip CMB +13, CMD +28

On a Finesse weapon: CMB (+17) (+4 DEX)

So the community "Pathfinder Basic Pack" has an adjustment for Weapon CMB that I "think" takes into account Weapon Finesse. Its designed to adjust the CMB values based on the equip weapon but it has been awhile and don't remember if it does WF.

So you can give that a try and if it doesn't take into account WF it would give you a good starting script to take it into account.
