In need of a weapon

[Dafydd]

In short, the concept I am looking to make for an upcoming character is very similar to the main character of Rurouni Kenshin. As such, I am looking for a sword that deals nonlethal damage. A bonus would be if it could do lethal with a penalty, but this feature is not needed.

Preferably, I do not want to use Merciful. For starters, I would need to wait a long number of levels to get the 8k and FAME req (this is for PFS).

Anyone know of such a blade in the game?

If this wasn't for PFS then the blade of mercy trait would be perfect for you. I think it requires worship of Iomedae, but would be perfect otherwise.

But I'm pretty sure it's not PFS legal, unfortunately.

Blade of Mercy is PFS legal.

well there you go then

You could take the bludgeoner feat. It only works on bludgeoning weapons, but then you could flavor a club as a bokken (wooden Japanese sword).

Is it a campaign trait? Campaigns traits aren't allowed.

I know that I could just download the Legacy of Fire Players Guide, but I'm on my phone and it won't let me download it.

It's not a campaign trait, it's a religion trait. The only campaign trait in that page range is Earning Your Freedom.

It's a perfect choice, then. :)
