Oh no, R. Carter I understand totally and agree that weapons are hard translations.

But sometimes, those translations make a joke of the weapon.

Yes, changing Carsomyr to a Longsword would make it less powerful...until someone dual wields it.

It'd be like the Purifier/Foebane combo, only you get ...

These are the things to look at when you are choosing your holy sword:

a) What weapon skill you like to use?

b) Do you like to use a shield or another weapon?

c) How many paladins will be in your group.

Personally, I think if you're looking into ratios, min & max damage, your missing the point ...

Alright folks, I'll throw down the proverbial gauntlet.

First, the Encyclopedia Magica is 2nd Edition, same as Baldur's Gate 2. Of course they're going to show simularities, I never denied that. I brought up the 3rd Edition rules for a Holy Avenger to show people that the weapon has changed. Why ...

So Paladins suck?

Considering all I play is paladins, and I don't use Mr. Uber Carsomyr on my Protagonist Paladin, I disagree.

Yep, I don't play with Carsomyr, I'm a one hand weapon man, who prefers bastard swords and long swords. I love the classic sword and shield fighting, and while most opt ...

I've played this game and the pen and paper version, both are really good but I really wish the game was more based on the pen and paper structure. It's got the feel, which makes it a great game, just wish it allowed a few of the rules/restrictions (like progression of generation through Diablerie ...

Ah, thanks, just one more thing: that script change for the npc's you mentioned, is that in effect when you install ToB or when you play out the expansion after your battle in hell?

Viconia Questions *Spoilers for both SoA & ToB*

Ok, I have been giving it alot of thought and I want to bring Viconia into my next party, but at the sametime, I'm a little hesitant of losing Keldorn. So, I have a few questions and hope that someone will gleam some light on them to help me solidify my party with Viconia.

Haven't seen Carsomyr +6's stats, but, unless they are a major improvement over it's +5 version, I probally will not prefer it, since I'm a fan of one hand slashing weapons.

ToB Question (Minor Spoiler)

Ok, I'm trying to confirm a rumor and am wondering if anyone has seen or found, of can extract the info on this.

Someone mentioned another Holy Avenger in the game, a +3 or +4 Purifier, has anyone found or know if such a weapon exists?

Thanks

Velvet, check your private messages.

I did a direct edit of the description, nothing spectacular, used another item as reference.

I ended up turning it to a 2 hand to see if it'd be more acceptable with the design, but still no luck.

Nope, it did, for some reason it does not like the Protector at All.

Anyone got an idea why it's like that?

The only reason I'm not for it being 2 handed right now, is the speed of the weapon, with maxxed points in 2 hand skill it has a speed of 0.

Which means it's faster than Carsomyr, though ironically, it's as fast as the impaler.

As for placement of weapon, I'd stick it with either the Shadow Dragon ...

I guess my habit would be charging into a rediculously deadly situation with my main character, like the time I tried a one on one with the Firkraag with my pally. :D

I also can resist saying "Here lizard lizard..." anytime I'm in a room with a Dragon.
