[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 2939848, member: 114"] Hi and welcome to ENworld! I can only give some initial suggestions, but I'm sure others will chip in soon. 1) Silversheen is normally available to give your weapons the silver characteristic, otherwise I'd get a silver dagger and a cold iron dagger. At your level you are not going to be meeting creatures with too much DR of those types anyway. Time enough to worry about having a magic cold iron weapon when you reach mid levels! 2) No, I don't think that cold iron or silver spiked gauntlets make sense. There are so few demons or creatures with DR that swallow whole or grapple, and unless you are focussed on grappling your best bet is to get out of the grapple as soon as possible rather than stay in it and do a little bit of damage! 3) Generally I'd go with Bless Weapon too, unless I was going to be fighting conjurers or dominators when Protection from Evil becomes a godsend :) 4) I don't know what LG cash and stuff is like, so take this with a pinch of salt. If possible I'd make my next upgrade "Keen" for the longsword (~6000gp by the DMG), partly because of the excellent synergy with Bless Weapon. I wouldn't worry about your warhorses barding because trusting to your Mounted Combat/Ride skill to negate a hit is likely to be its best defence anyway. The only reason for not going with Keen now would be if you thought that it would be easier to get Holy in the near-moderate future (but as a +2 equivalent that may well be out of reach for a long time). The other good option if you are facing a particular type of enemy a lot is Bane - e.g. evil outsider bane gives an extra +2 hit and +2d6 damage against evil outsiders for that ~6000gp upgrade.
