    Due to my failure to pick up the flail of Ages poor Sir Anomen is stuck with a paltry +1 or +2 morningstar of some description - does anyone know of a superior crushing weapon? They seem a bit thin on the ground.

    If you have the bonus merchants, Joluv sells the Defender of Easthaven. I think it's +2 or +3 and gives an AC bonus. There is that Wyvern's Tail thing that you pick up from one of the pack of hoodlums you kill off in the sewers (+2 I think plus poison damage on failed saves).

    I am trying to think of other Flail/Morningstar types, and am not having much success. Sorry.

    Edit - as for maces, there's the mace of disruption which can be improved to +2 and negative plane protection; IIRC, there are a couple of +2 maces with bonuses that you can buy at the Copper Coronet after you complete the Slaver Quest; somewhere, there is Skullcrusher, although you may not be able to get that until the Underdark (I forget); and Joluv may sell a mace, I am not sure. Hammers - Crom Faer (SP?), and a couple of +1 or +2 hammers with either electrical bonuses or the like (and that one with bonuses against Giantkin that you can get in the D'Arnise Keep). Clubs - there's Gnasher, which you pick off the corpse of one of the rangers/druids in the grove, there's Blackblood, which I think you buy in Trademeet, and there's that Bone Club which is +something against undead that you pick up on your way out of the Spellhold dungeon.

    I'm tapped out.

    Flails, morning stars and maces are pretty weak early in the game. You may be stuck with nothing more than a +2 weapon until you return from spellhold. You'll get Skullcrusher +3 in the Underdark, and you can get Crom Faeyr crafter if you pick up all the required items in the Underdark. As DMC said, Defender of Easthaven may be your best option until then...

    There are two places I like to get this kind of information from:

    - BG2 & ToB Full Item List with Description Text from here (it's near the bottom).
    - Gamebanshee

    Of course, there's no better place to discuss the usefulness of these items than right here on the Boards. :D

    Well, I'd say Wyvern Tail (+2 morningstar with extra poison damage) would be the best one to use, then switch to Skullcrusher (+3 mace, extra damage to humanoids) when you get to the Underdark. You won't need any +3 weapons early in the game, since all the vampires only need +2.
