[3.5] touch attacks + weapon finesse

[Choco]

Say you gotta do a melee touch attack, and you got the weapon finesse (unarmed strike) feat, would this let you use your dex for doing this touch attack?

[Kylarra]

I believe so, I wouldn't see any reason why not.

In edition 3.5 you do not need to specify which weapon you are taking weapon finesse for.

Oh nice, I didn't know that... guess this is what I get for using a combination of 3.0 and 3.5 books...

Rules Compendium has this information to offer in section about weapon finesse and touch attack spells:

Weapon Finesse: You can treat touch spells as light weapons
and use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength
modifier on your touch attack rolls with such spells.

That's a great clarification, but you can also figure it out because touch attacks are light weapons. Yeah, it's legal.
