For reference, some other common +1 equivalent abilities are:Flaming, Shock, Frost, Keen, Mighty Cleaving. The blessed category wouldn't hold a candle to these.For a different point reference, consider Bane. Many people on these boards don't think it's worth a +2 equivalent bonus but Bane gives +2 to hit and damage, and +2d6 bonus damage against a category of creatures that is at least twice as large (evil outsiders is a legitimate bane choice and only about half of evil outsiders have regeneration) as the bonusses blessed would give.Blessed might be a worthwhile ability as a +1 equivalent bonus that added 1d6 holy damage against evil creatures as well (making it a "Lesser Holy" weapon). This, naturally, would not stack with the 2d6 from a holy weapon. As a weapon quality with no bonusses attached (except the ability to penetrate the regeneration of certain fiends), it is far too weak for a +1.</blockquote>
