I hate to ask such a simple question but I have been trying over the last week to find the answer. How are enchanted weapons categorized in 3.5? Especially what the numbers mean, such as +3 or +5 enchantment? I'm only asking as a last resort, I have checked many forums and looked through all my books and turned up nothing. I'm assuming I'm just not looking in the right places. Sorry if this is an annoying question to post but any help would be appreciated.

The numbers themselves are the level of magical enhancement to attack and damage rolls. A +3 weapon has +3 on its attack roll and +3 on its damage roll. So if it's a +3 club, its base attack roll is 1d20+3 and its base damage roll is 1d6+3.

In addition to [MENTION=6678119]Jackinthegreen[/MENTION]'s excellent explanation and link (Read specifically the links under "Creating Magical Items" and flip through the listed weapon and armor enhancements):
-different specific magical enhancements are categorized in the +1 through +5 range in terms of the power of the enhancement.
-It also costs a different amount of gold to increase a weapon's enhancement. to upgrade a weapon from +1 to a +2 costs less than upgrading from +2 to +3, +3 to +4, and so on.
