If it's the target for a smite at that stage it gets +4d6 + 14 damage on each hit -> plus anything else you normally haveIf the weapon bond applies to both weapons you do away with some of the requirement to keep both weapons up to date, how many adventuring days do you really have more than 5 minutes a day of combat at 5th level or, say, 10 minutes a day at 10th?as far as single weapon feats go Improved Critical isn't bad (especially with Kukri's for a 2 weapon combatant, 15-20 threat range, and smite damage is multiplied on a crit) I'm not sure if there's anyway for a Paladin to get them without multi-classing into fighter but the Weapon Specialization, greater weapon focus, greater weapon specialization combinations have a fair impact.</blockquote>
