Finesse Fighting and adding Str mod to Damage

[Stef]

if my fighter is fighting finesse (Arming Sword). I understand that he uses his Dex bonus to hit instead of Str's. But what about damage? Do I add my Str bonus to the rolled damage?

thx!

Yes, you certainly do add your Str bonus to damage rolls also when finessing. You do not add your Str bonus to AP, though, which is the drawback of finesse fighting.
