I'm about to upgrade my weapons (+1 wakizashis). What is the most commonly needed /dr?
I'm thinking cold iron for one
and ghost touch or holy for the other.
Any recommendations?
This is for my TW CG Ninja in a Shattered Star campaign. No spoilers please. Just want suggestions and best anti-XDR choices.
Also bunches of shurikens with various properties is an option, if its not wickedly expensive. Best recs there?
thanks in advance.
Depends on your campaign.
Seriously, an all-undead campaign is not an all-golem campaign is not an all-dragon campaign. Are you constantly fighting proteans? Then maybe you want axiomatic weapons rather than the holy silver ones you'd use against devils, or the holy cold iron ones you'd strike demons with.
Note that you need to start with a material and then enchant it, so if you already have a +1 weapon you can't _then_ turn it into a cold iron one.
Have not played Shattered Star, but a holy weapon is almost never a bad choice in a Paizo AP. Problem is it's a +2 bonus, so on top of your +1 it's a +3 total, or (18,000-2,000) 16k gold, for which you could upgrade both weapons for an extra +1 instead.
Generally speaking, a straight extra +1 will help with your worst problem, actually hitting while TWFing. Having one weapon a ghost touch one isn't bad at all. Bane weapons are good IF you know you're going to be fighting one particular type of monster a lot.
Go with a 1/day item of Versatile Weapon as cast by a bard, say your gloves or something for flavor purposes.
It will give you your choice of piercing / slashing / bludgeoning / silver / cold iron once per day for 4 minutes. The cost for this would be
2 x 4 x 400 gp, or 3,200 gp. If you couple this with a single adamantine weapon later on, even clay golems will crumple to your blades. If you need to break DR in more than one critical fight per day, fall back on shuriken.
