One of my characters recently acquired Hectors Kutter. An item that grants a +1 Attack bonus (much like Falkovnian Swords).
What is the mechanical difference apart from a generic +1 to hit, particularly with regards to hitting vampires, shadows, werewolves etc or is an enchantment bonus (as I gather quite rare in magic items) needed via varnishes, spells etc
Is a +2 to hit bonus needed to get through DR? I notice that my Whitestag composite bow seems to go through crypt undead DR with its +2 to hit and my silver gilded sword seems to do the job on werewolves.
Yesterday I was fighting a single werewolf (thank god!) and had magic weapon on my sword - it also seemed to perform properly
