Threat necro incoming:

If someone is using a bokken, would you allow him to cast shillelagh spell on it?
Pro: It is made of wood and does the same damage as a club.
Con: For feats and the like the bokken seems to be treated as a katana, not a club.
So RAW it will not work but it seems the two allowed weapons have been chosen because they are rather low damage. So for balancing reasons.


Here, I'll make a stat block for you if anyone is still interested:

Bokken: 1d6 damage (bludgeoning) x2 crit, one-handed martial weapon with Katana special wielding rules.
Special: If you have EWP (Katana), treat the Bokken as a 1d8 (B) weapon with 18-20/x2 crit and treat it as a Katana for the purpose of any feat or ability. If you also have Greater Weapon Specialization (Katana), you may deal B or S damage with a Bokken and treat it as having the Deadly weapon property.


You could just treat it as a normal Katana, except Wooden weapons, that were designed to be made of metal, would suffer the following.

-2 penalty on Attack and damage rolls

Weapons splinter and break on any natural attack roll of 1 or 2.

Any opinions?
