What about a Starknife?

You can get proficiency with a trait, and you can use it with the Knife Master archetype.

Blunt is useful for bony undead and some constructs.

Slashing is useful for some plants and fleshy undead.

Piercing has only rakshasa that come to mind immediately.

So, your best weapon would be a slashing or blunt combo weapon.

Or one that does all three. (heck yeah bite attack!)

Though of note - while piercing does little that slashing doesn't, there are a few things with DR against bludgeoning only, so blunt/pierce is significantly better than blunt alone.

Well, you just nab Weapon Versatility, and do Slashing, Piercing, or Bludgeoning, with the weapon of your choosing.

Most oozes will need a Bludgeoning weapon to avoid the split ability. Weapon Versatility really is a great feat though.

Honestly I've just been trying real hard to find a way to make my main weapon a super small blade worth it and I thought getting dex to damage while throwing it would be perfect but so much for that. :/

Have you seen the Warpriest? Good way to make a tiny dagger into a killing machine.


If you're open to other classes, Flying Blade swashbuckler can make for some pretty gnarly throwing builds.


Yeah...Flying Blade swashbuckler gets level to damage at 3 within 60ft with thrown dagger or starknife.

Enough skills to still be good, grab some rogue or ninja with it and stack on more.

All cower before the unstoppable force of the mighty MORNINGSTAR!

Well - yeah. Any martial character I play usually wields a sword of some kind and starts with a backup cold-iron morningstar.

Slashing/piercing is the same as Slashing unless you fight a rakshasa.

Also gas-filled zombies, and druids with resinous skin (the spell)
