Sneak Rogue: best kukri and/or dagger?

Unread post by grunts »

So I regretfully heard Kukri of Subtlety does not stack with rogue +sneak damage :(

What is the best Kukri and/or Dagger for a typical sneak attack rogue, preferably +4? And where could I find it, assuming it's on a merchant?

Thanks

Epic kukri of Greater Balance isnt bad if you do not have the weapon focus and weapon specialization feats.
Another offer power critical.

Neither is +4 EB however.

Ok thanks. Any merchants sell these or are they just super rare drops? What are the best dagger alternatives?

Dagger or short sword. Kukri is martial weapon and not rogue weapon, which means you have to get martial weapon proficiency to wield it.

Well if one were to spend the feat to get martial weapon proficiency. The best sneak kukri is a Epic Shadow Master Kukri. Bonus Acid damage with +H/MS. Not sure of the exact stats. I would think +4 EB 1d6 Acid +4H/MS.

+4 EB, 1d4 acid, +3 hide/ms I think. I doubt it's any higher than that.

Are there any finesseable +4 EB weapons with bonuses to hide and move silently readily available in shops, besides Kukri of Subtletly? That is what I would like to know.

While we are on the topic, I was just curious... Are daggers inferior to shortswords for a rogue? I know daggers have always gotten the shaft (at least in nwn1), but is that the case in bgtscc as well?

The Gnomes used to have a merchant with a ton of good/decent daggers.
