Hello, Forum
I'm building a Halfling Paladin, and the GM decided everyone gets proficiency with two exotic weapons as a free trait/feat due to the type of campaign.
Since im size small are their any feats/traits that would give me medium weapon damage if not what are your favorite exotic weapons that would be give a small sized character benefits.
Post your thoughts below.
Thanks,
It may not be the most Paladin-appropriate weapon, but I've always thought the quadrens was interesting.
While I thank you for your suggestion.
I dont think 1d4+str and 1 bleed damage as the best for a melee character and most likely not good at all for a ranged character.
Any other thoughts I was thinking Fauchard but my other question was are there any traits/feats that give medium weapon damage?
Anything with an 18-20 critical threat range is likely your best bet, and work on boosting your static damage modifiers.
Mechanically they're all pretty similar to one another, and similar to the non-exotics, from a pure damage standpoint.
Here a sample of one handed options (assuming bab 6 and a +4 bump to damage and to hit from strength). There differences will get bigger as the static damage bonuses increase, but they have to get pretty high to see a big difference.

From a two-weapon standpoint there really nothing to be gained from a pure damage standpoint. If you want to go two handed it's going to be for a property (reach, disarm, trip, fineseable, etc.)
My advise is to either decide what you want to do from a role playing perspective first and then try to accentuate that with an exotic weapon (if appropriate) OR determine some kind of specific build (reach / trip for instance) and boost your damage a bit by talking an exotic weapon.
Falcata 18 gp 1d6(s) 1d8(m) 19-20/x3 Slashing, APG. The Estoc is pretty good too, as it has an unusual small damage dice 2d3 and 18-19/x2 crit range.

Not sure how I missed the Falcata...
With Keen Falcata is slightly better than a bastard sword (which is slightly better than a long sword). Without keen the bastard sword is slightly better.
Damage without Keen:

With or without keen Falcata will edge out the competitors once the static damage bonuses get high enough (about 10):

The main advantage of the estoc is for strength based swashbucklers or daring champions IMO. It's a rapier you can hold in 2 hands, allowing you to get all of the advantages for that when fighting something immune to precision damage.
I've always thought the chainsaw glaive was pretty cool.
