So I am thinking about creating a double weapon melee type (for pfs). Noticed that most of the double weapons are exotic? Are there any that are worth their price?
For non exotic, I see the monk spade and the quarter staff. The spade is interesting with all three damage types.
Best way to get exotic weapons? Humans can do it with their bonus feat, but seems better spent elsewhere. Half elves, dwarves, half orcs can all get one. (Not interested in the gnome, though perhaps with a normal sized version for human / half-elf)
It also appears there is a cracked opalescent white pyramid ioun stone for familiarity. That certainly looks interesting. 1.5k gold for an equivalent feat? Can seem more broken with the falcata. I would assume I could take feats (weapon focus, specialization) with this stone? Otherwise how could an elven fighter take feats for the curved blade (for example).
Would all this work? Are there any particular double weapons with special feats? Perhaps should just play human and stick with the monk spade?
There is the orc weapon expertise feat that can be used with the orc double axe.
I once did a build with enforcer and used the orc weapon expertise to deal 1 point of nonlethal in addition to my normal (lethal) damage. But it has other interesting uses, as well.
To get a shield bonus while wielding the weapon, for example.
Edit:
For the quaterstaff there is the quaterstaff master feat that allows you to use it one-handed and to get weapon specialization without being a fighter. The staff magus gets it at level 1 for free. So 1 level staff magus then ranger or slayer to get TWF without dex requirement.
Added something for the quaterstaff while you answered
