    My favourite (and the best IMO) weapon for my PC: Flail of Ages, it seems its slowing capacity works against every creature. Style: sword & shield, not that the AC vs missiles bonus is great, but there are great shields in the game and you should use them.

    You can't choose any more than 3 points on dual-wielding in any class, so a mod would be possible, I think. It would be nice to have a single weapon style with -5 AC or something. Or Sword/Shield style where there would be a chance you could use your shield as a weapon (30% chance at a 2d8 hit or something like that) included in your swing. I really think that 2 Handed weapon style should include an AC bonus too, because you've got this huge weapon, you're bound to block some stuff with it.

    Fave weapon: Celestial Fury every time. Its stunning ability is a killer. The extra lightning damage is icing. I don't think I've ever used the lightning bolt / cause blindness abilities though; why blind somebody with it when you can whack them instead?

    Second favourite: the Spear of Impaling as it does an obscene amount of damage.

    Third favourite: Improved Mace of Disruption - the negative plane protection is a lifesaver.

    Others: The Staff of the Woodlands would be really good if you didn't get it so late in the game, likewise Blackrazor (which has the added disadvantage of turning you neutral evil).

    You could get The Staff of the Woodlands early if you fly through all the quests and just walk out of Suldenessar (sp?) to gor do some more quests. Of course, with ToB it doesn't really matter since there's a whole lot more game there.

    I don't know if I misread your post, but that stuff can't be modded, it's hardcoded. You could make a sword with a shield's AC bonus, but that could end up being really screwed up if someone uses it with a shield.

    Rastor...

    Sorry, I didn't know. I work on computers, but know absolutely nothing about programming.

    well have you tried Usuno's Blade and spectral brand, really awesome. Also I installed Weimers item upgrade and got a new one called waters talon. excellent.:)

    ---------- Added 0 hours, 6 minutes and 38 seconds later... ----------

    Well my favourite styles are

    dual wield : FoA and celestial fury, FoA and Axe of unyeilding, FoA and Spectral band, FoA and Angurvadal, celestial fury and Crom Faeyr, I always try to mix and match both blunt and sharp damage. The first four weapons are the only ones that I have found to be good to be wielded as offhand and main hand.

    two handed : Staff of the ram (the ultimate backstabber and damage dealer). Ravager +6
