How would you handle damage with a piece of glass, if you stab some one with a piece of glass and break it off in your foe how would you handle the damage from this and any extra damage from the broken pieces.
Lets say for arguments sake it was a piece of glass shaped like a dagger and sharpened.
It would be treated as a dagger shaped improvised weapon. You'd take the appropriate penalties (-4) for non-proficiency.
There would be no "extra" damage unless the DM decided to rule that way.
Lokie is right, but if I were DMing it, I would probably have it deal half the damage it originally dealt as bleed damage.

So like a prison shank or like a dagger with a hilt, etc? I would have it do dagger damage with a -4 penalty for the former...no penalty for the latter. For either i would have it shatter and do 1d4 bleed damage for 4 rounds on a critical hit.
IF he is using it as an exotic weapon I would have it do the following:
1d4 damage, 19~20/x2* Range 10' Slashing, light weapon.
*If someone who is proficient with this weapon comfirms a critical hit with it they may choose to break the blade in the wound. Doing so causes bleeding damage of 1 point a round until a DC 15 heal check is made, or magical healing is applied. If they choose to break the blade in the wound the weapon now has the broken quality and this ability cannot be used again until it is fixed.
Without the exotic weapon proficiency it's simply an improvised weapon.
thanks

That's almost exactly how we wrote up the glass stiletto in LLG&TS, except it wasn't for throwing and did 1d3 damage - crits mean the blade breaks off in the wound, does bleed damage, and requires a heal check or magical healing.
Instant death.
I think that is reserved for broken off beer bottles.
