the cutthroat+4 shortsword i would say is the best weapon. its a cool name, and a bad ass shortsword. my fighter/thief just slays with this thing when using his backstab ability. he is an 11th level assassin, dualed to a fighter at 12th level. i use the critical strike ability of the fighter, then poison my blade, then do a mean ass backstab (usually on mages) and poison them. so much for the mage casting any spells. heheheh
