    Adjatha the Drinker in your main hand (+2, heals 1 HP per hit, immunity to charm/domination), Daystar in your off hand (+2, +4 vs. evil, 2x damage to undead, Sunray once/day).

    Famir's Blade? Never heard of it.

    Depends on who you fight:

    Daystar for fighting Undeads, Dragonslayer for Dragons, Namarra for wizards etc

    I like using the blade of roses - I think it's the only +3 longsword until you make the equiliser. :) Also that dancing sword (Ras I think the name was) is cool and the dragonslayer gives you immunity to fear.

    You can get blackrazor+3 (one heck of a sword...), though you have to wait until the very end of the game... Apart from that the Equalizer and various +2 long swords.

    Rangers and blackrazor don't go totgether.... and you get it only in the end. So not worth all the trouble... go for Daystar (Undead) Dragonslayer (dragons)...

    For regular fights use the Equalizer and Flametongue.

    Main hand: The Equalizer
    Off Hand: Daystar vs undead,
    Blade of Roses (2D4+2 or is it +3? +2 cha) or perhaps the Dragonslayer vs Dragons and when you get to hell, and in ToB use the Blackrazor!!

    Actually, how about a B*stard sword in one hand?

    Jhor the bleeder in your main hand, and the Equalizer in the off hand.

    OR, if you do [ToB area, ToB item removed.] in your main hand, and the bleeder in your offhand!

    [ToB item removed.] -Tal

    If you were a paladin, I could give you the ultimate dual wielding como without cheating.

    [ToB item removed.] -Tal

    [Next time I'll remove your whole post. Go read the forum description. NO ToB material is allowed in the BG2 forum!] -Tal

    How about dualwielding Jhor the bleeder and Adjatha. You'll have 4 attacks per round on higher levels and while adjatha would heal you while Jhor is bleeding out your enemies - and Adjatha would permanently protect your char from beeing charmed ;) Or change it and give Jhor in the off-hand and use Adjatha as your main weapon when you fear to take more damage.
    And both weapons could be used by a ranger :)

    Foebane and Purifier are not items obtainable in plain SoA installation. Do remove that.

    Jhor the Bleeder is not Long Sword but Bastard Sword. And if I see it right, sir Larlon asked for longswords.
