    Holy swords. The two of them. :D The Roseblade or whatever it is in English gives that wonderful +2 charisma meaning less cash spent in shops and better reaction.

    I like my Long Sword +2 Varscona that I imported from the original BG. And of course the Silver Sword.

    [​IMG] Definitly Lilarcor!

    That sword is hilarious with his constant complaining. The only problem is that it is only a +2 2-handed sword. In my first game Minsc use it almost until the end of the game.

    I think in a few next replies ppl will start bragging with their see-fewree ass kicking, so ill try to mislead them :)

    Yah see-fewree is cool and all, but honestly ppl who doesnt like Lilarcor. You spend your adventuring killing half of Forgotten Realms and why not do it with a sword who can make that sad grin on your face dissappear after you kill your relatives.

    Since some mentioned original bg and bg2:tob weapons i rly must say varscona longsword +2 is a true asskicker in bg and angurvadal+foebane combo is great for my ranger. spiders bane is cool, too. IMHO of course. actually, varscona is a weapon that stays to end with you if you can wield it. especially if you are a fighter class and you carry a shield. unmatched.

    Also Carsomyr +5 (+6 in tob) is a cool weapon for keldorn if yourself aint a paladin. So lets say its cool and not much useable.

    [​IMG] Go read the forum descriptions. You are not allowed to post anything ToB-related in this forum and you have two or three ToB weapons mentioned in your post.

    Ok, no need to be so hostile. I know Im new and its forum policy (I already saw the rules) and i know they are tob weapons, but 'allowed' is a harsh word, even if its said so by the rules. Its all BG. And i dont think therez a post like this in tob area. So would it be better to make 3 separate posts in all 3 forums (bg, bg2 & bg2:tobI)?

    My bad and I apologize.

    BTW, if we gonna be so straight and to the point, Lilarcor and Holy Avenger are my 2 favorite swords. No first places. Talking sword and a sword that is old as dragons and created to destroy evil. What can be cooler than that.

    [​IMG] Allowed is the same word that is used in the forum description, I'm only repeating it here for your convenience. Whether or not there is such a post in the ToB forum is completely and utterly irrelevant. This forum is for people who don't have ToB installed, so your mentioning any ToB items is not only useless, it also confuses anyone without ToB because they can't find that item anywhere in their game.

    You can always open a new post such as this in the ToB forum and everyone who has ToB can chime in there. Considering a post with this topic would have a pretty different content in the ToB forum (since there are many more weapons available in ToB), that would be perfectly acceptable.

    [​IMG] Normal katana + wakizashi or ninja-to

    thats the best weapon wielded by Kensai. If you equip a magical weapon all you get is +x to THAC0(you dont need that - kensai) and +x to overall damage.

    All you need magical weapons for are some creatures that cant be hit by normal weapons, and special effects.

    With regard to Celestial Fury.
    Is there any where in the game that sends you to the Guarded Compound? :hmm:
    If you’re playing a good party, why would you go and just barge in to someone place? :good:
    There must be a lead somewhere, that sends you to the Guarded Compound. :bang:
    Has anyone found it?

    That is just one of the things that didn't quite get finished before the game was released... just like the Twisted Rune.

    SPOILER!

    There is a +4 halberd (called Dragons Breath or somthing similar) in the underdark. It's the best one I've found, and it does extra damage (+1 fire, cold, electricity and something i don't remember. Acid perhaps?). And there are several drow halberds (+3, no frills) in the underdark too.

    well, halberds are not exactly swords, so we are hijacking the thread a bit...

    but anyways - I found that adding halberd proficiency upon creation of a new char to be a bit wasted because you really do not find decent halberd until Underdark, as was mentioned. /There is a confrontation between your party and a group of adventurers that think that you are a Drow - for me it always happens when I leave Ust Natha for the 1st time to rescue Phaere from illithids/

    of course unless your main char is a paladin, then you are ok with two-handed swords and two-handed style and can allocate rest how you like...

    Btw, my favourite swords:
    1. Carsomyr
    2. Celestial Fury
    3. Equalizer

    ...pretty standart choices I'm afraid...

    Hi Velcro,

    your question is a bit off topic (and so is my reply).
    If you do the Nalia-quest, you will find a book in Isaeas house. There is a (vague) hint to the Guarded Compound.

    Favorite sword? Probably Holy Avenger, not only is it a strong weapon of choice, but I've always been partial to it since I first recieved one while gaming with my first Paladin ever :)
