[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9531747, member: 7030563"] It does the same type of damage, but the +1 on a dagger +1 adds to the damage of a "normal dagger" in the same fashion as the +1d6 on a dragontooth dagger adds to the damage of a normal dagger. What you are essentially saying is you convert any extra damage that adds to the weapon damage if it is the same type as the weapon, but not if it is of a different type. This is fundamentally a different argument than saying any additional damage is not converted. Paladin smites are not converted because they are not part of the weapons "normal damage type". Just like Hunter's Mark or Hex or something that is additional damage on top of the damage done by the weapon. I think this is true regardless of how you define "normal damage type" Sneak Attack damage however does not follow this. Sneak attack damage is specifically [I]"The extra damage’s type is the [U]same as the weapon’s type[/U]." [/I]Sneak attack damage is NOT the same as the damage done by the attack, nor the same as the damage done by the weapon it is the damage done by the "weapon type" specifically. If you are arguing that the "normal damage type" for a dragontooth dagger is only piercing, and never anything else, then there is no argument to ever change sneak attack with pact of the blade. As I said on my first post, this is what I see as RAW. At my table I would let them change all damage regardless. [/QUOTE]
