Help With Cold / Fire Themed Weapons


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I have to create a couple lvl8 characters for some friends and I for a game at PaizoCon.

I need level appropriate weapons for two lvl8 druids (halfling and dwarf) including a scimitar, sling and warhammer. What would be some weapon builds for increasing att/dmg for that lvl?

The dwarf is themed for cold spells and the halfling is themed for fire spells. Ideally the scimitar would have fire damage and the warhammer cold.

At level 8 you should be able to afford a +2 equivalent weapon, so the simplest thing would be a +1 flaming scimitar and a +1 frost warhammer. This will give you +1 to attack, +1 to damage, and an extra d6 of fire or cold damage.


Are either of your druids taking domains? If you want a neat material for said weapons, you can use hot and cold siccatite, but you need to have at least fire or cold resist 1 as the material deals damage to creatures touching it.


The flame blade spell creates a fiery scimitar and is on the druid list


That's straight forward - thank you!


Good point about flame blade. I can give that Druid a +1 Flaming sling, and then use flame blade for melee.

go with fiery burst on the scimitar....get the extra damage when you crit

A Flaming Burst Scimitar (with Keen or the Improved Critical feat) would be pretty cool in the long run, but it's more than half the wealth of an 8th level character.

i was assuming he was a fighter...so it would be much cheaper than a keen one

OP said both characters are druids.

And just a +1 Flaming Burst Scimitar is still 18,315gp as a +3 equivalent weapon. Expected WBL at level 8 is 33,000gp. Thus, the Flaming Burst sword is more than half your wealth - probably more than you want to spend on one item.
