    [​IMG] Does anyone know where I can find a good short sword with at least a +2 or better?

    I am in Chapter 3, getting ready to fight Bodhi, but I know that I am in need of finding some weapons that can do some serious damage. My priest of lathander was the only one who could hit a golem I came across and do damage.

    Arbane's Short Sword +2, gives wielder free action is very early in the game from some slavers that "waylay" you. But I'm thinking that only +3 or better weapons hurt the vampires. Come to think of it, I don't really remember any other shortswords. Anybody else?

    The Short Sword of Backstabbing can be had... It's either +3 or +4, and IIRC I got it after taking care of Mae'Var.

    Oh... He's that rogue guildmaster that Bloodscalp asks you to investigate in the Docks District. I was asked to go see Bloodscalp in the "official" guildhouse in the Docks because of Yoshi in my party; I don't know if he's necessary though... Bloodscalp then gives the Mae-Var quest.

    IIRC Bloodscalp's reward to me for taking care of Mae'Var was the short sword...

    [​IMG] There are tons of +2 short swords in the game, but I haven't come across any better than +2 yet. I think I've come across 4 +2 short swords all together, plus the two that H'aer D'alis has. I wish I could say where I found them, but I can't remember. Oner of them has a speed factor of "0".

    The one with the speed factor of 0 is from the Planar Prison.

    Ragusa ------> ehm Cutthtroat isn't in the Underdark but in the coffin of Bodhi after driving a wooden stake through her body.

    Kundane is the sword with Speed Factor 0, it's in the Astral Prison yepz!

    I believe you get that sword when you kill her for good after returning from Spellhold.
