Featherweight Dart damage questions

Any way to deal damage with these?

Working on a Poison Darter Ranger (Grippli racial archetype from Blood of the Beast) and would really like to use

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/specific-magic-weapons/st irge-lancet

but seems like wasting their sneak attack feature.

Would it deal 1 point of nonlethal damage, as per a successful weapon attack that failed to deal any damage?

What if you put Flaming or another energy damage Enhancment on it?

Would you add the Enhancment bonus? Treat it as dealing 1d0 damage?

Would anyone be opposed, if all else fails, the creation of a Stirge Lancet from a small sized blowgun dart?


No one? Maybe phrase it a different way...

Featherweight Dart: Deals Zero damage, or deals NA damage? Would you allow magic to bypass this?


1) the Dart is designed to do no damage so the target doesn't know that it was hit.

2) putting a Flaming Enchantment (or any Energy damage) on the Dart would make it more obvious that the target is under attack.

3) the + 1 of the Dart is for the attack roll, as a magical weapon, you could say it does 1 point of damage as well. But then the target would know it was attacked.

4) No.
