I think the Astral (is that right?) upgraded Longsword will be the best you get for a while, mostly thanks to the extra 1D6 damage or whatever it has, making it more damaging that +3 and even +4 longswords. You'll get another chance to upgrade it later in the game too [img]smile.gif[/img]
I don't think he charges too much for the work - something like 500GP. Your paladin might also want to investigate the Whitebone Armour that he can craft. It's deceptive because it requires leather armour to make (so I thought it was light armour for a while), but it actually produces a damn fine suite of +2 half plate!
