Are there any enhancement to hlep with bludgeoning.


Advice


I am playing a dwarf Warpreist duel wielding brass knuckles and so far I can not find any thing that would help me with enhancing them magic or material or named items. its like anything that is B gets boned.. and I know that there are materials that I could use but I do not like the fact that all the special materials can be used for S/P but not for B.

if nothing can be found then what do you all think about taking a existing named item like the 9 ring sword and making it a brass knuckle.

I don't know. let me know.


Well, bludgeoning gets boned because it is one of the most important damage types. It is certainly the most common one for getting past DR.

Still....are you sure you don't want a set of cestus? They are no trouble at all (except for disable device and such), they have better damage dice and crit range, and they can also deal piercing damage (thus keen)


There already are the punching dagger (brass knuckles with a blade sticking out used for piercing) and the knuckle axe (brass knuckles with an axe head used for slashing) so there is no need for converting something else to make another S or P brass knuckle variant. Personally I like the pata (sword and gauntlet all-in-one) image myself but the knuckle axe would be a good solution to your problem although the cestus with 19-20x2 is better crit-wise than the knucle axe with x3.

Why do you believe bludgeoning weapons cannot be made of Special Materials, or be enchanted?

Also, by "named items", do you mean specific magic weapons?

Scarab Sages

Any weapon enchantment that does not require a slashing or piercing weapon can be applied to a bludgeoning weapon. There are even some enchantments such as disruptive that can only be applied to a bludgeoning weapon.

I doubt there are any named brass knuckles, because it's an uncommon weapon type.

Well, he could mean 'none that actually help'.

Not that that is true. Heck, silver bludgeoning weapons are pretty much a straight upgrade, since they do not suffer from damage loss (bludgeoning weapons do not have the -1), but still get through damage reduction. It covers one of the major DR types, and does not have any long term penalties like cold iron.


What about stuff that modifies piercing weapons, then use it on the lowly morningstar?

How would that work? (it's a P/B weapon!)

Bludgeon explicitly? Not many of the enhancements rule out the damage type of the weapon.
