Weapons still only get the +5 to attack and not to damage without special materials, though.Here's an example weapon: Arcanite Dwarvencraft Alchemy Blade of Legend. +5 to attack, +1 to damage, +1 to crit range after other modifiers, and it can be used with alchemical fire or alchemical frost for elemental damage, although acidic fire or alchemist's spark will destroy the weapon (or at least the alchemical part . . .) if used instead of fire or frost. Looks like it wouldn't fall completely behind, although it might lag slightly. Arcanite's from the Warcraft RPG, adds +9,000 to the base price. Can weapons other than shortswords be made into Alchemy Blades? I'm guessing yes, but I'm not sure what it would cost.On a side note: Someone above mentioned combining soulmelds with magic items. There is a feat in Magic of Incarnum called Split Chakra that allows one slot to make use of a magic item and a soulmeld in the same slot, and Double Chakra allows two soulmelds to be used on the same slot; by the look of it, taking both for the same slot could allow for up to 2 soulmelds and 1 magic item, not counting the extra magic item slot epic feat.</blockquote>
