MoonBlade +5!!!

I was just reading and the great userunfriendly mentioned a moonblade +5 and that it is better then my new acid katana, this is most shocking news, seeing as how i just spent alot of time to kill kuroisan and get the best sword in faerun, but as usual something better is still out there, i just wanted to know what its stats are and if its longsword or katana or what??

Its a +5 longsword (though it's "category" is shortsword) with an insane pile of equipped abilities.

Free Action, Luck, +2ac, +1 attack, Armor of faith, draw on holy might, death ward, negative plane protection, chaotic commands.

On hit 50% chance of 18 fire damage over 3 seconds.

I can't even begin to say how silly this is.

The item code is solabla2 if you want to check it out (you'll need UAI and stats as good as his if you don't have solua to wield it for you).

I agree, those weapons are too much.
Don't use them. The acid katana it's close to the limit,
that moonblade from what I've read seems almost a joke...
But the sola mod contains works from different people, and remains
good, IMHO.
Some of the enemies are smarter, others are cheesier, but we
can decide what's to be installed after all.

doesnt lilarcor sometimes say that once he was a moonblade? and his brother is a +12, he also states.
all we need to do is give him back his old shape, and find his brother...

Yeah the +12 Hackmaster hehe, been looking for that sword for some time now

Actually, someone created the Hackmaster +12 (I don't remember the site specifically), but it has a 5% chance of beheading the wielder on each strike. Rendering it essentially useless.

Still, with all the mods for NPCs coming out, you'd think someone would be able to voice over a new weapon like Lilarcor. No messy global variables, basic dialogue triggers. Unless the weapon hada a quest attached...that would be nice. ^_^

Speaking of the Moonblade, is there a quest for Sola to get it, or does it "just happen"?

Sadly the +12 hackmaster would sit in your backpack while you dual wield acid katana and moonblade. A plain +12 sword wouldn't measure up.

Newest version of sola mod (v55) prevents you giving the moonblade to anyone else apparently...(according to the readme)

But does it keep if from uai??

@ Dezarond; I'm not sure as I haven't advanced that far in the mod yet... my group's still in the underdark. But from what I've read, UAI is the only way anyone else can use it (I think).

It was usable with UAI in version 51 (which was the current one a couple weeks ago when I downloaded it) but, according to the version 55 readme he added a trigger so that if someone other than Sol uses it someone comes and takes it away. This was required I think since the engine seems to only support usability based on race/alignment/class/stats and UAI overcomes most of those (I think you still need the right stats other than str).

The readme also says the acid revenge from the acid katana was seriously nerfed, possibly making it just very good now rather than ridiculous and game destroying.
