tnx, thats exactly what I wanted.
See the thing is i try to plan my chars to use cool weapons, Cuz i hate making a party, specializing in longswords and then finding a really cool mace I cant use.
Can someone recommed the coolest weapons, if that doesnt sound to childish. I have 3 weapon types to chose to specialize in.

it's natural to want the best stuff, so no need to worry about that
these are totally unofficial sets for a three weapon type party that i've run, so can i explain more on how they work if you want. anyway, if you have fighters you don't have to limit yourself to three kinds, but since those were your parameters i will structure my reply as such.
as a general rule, if you have a paladin he/she should have a proficiency in large swords in order to use Cera Sumat, which is *only* the single strongest weapon in the game (by single strongest, i mean if you have no strategy whatsoever this weapon will undoubtedly own the others, with the exception of ranged weapons which can always be cheesed)
on to the specifics! these are not be-alls and end-alls, so improvise as often as you can (it's more fun that way)
Cheese Option:
Proficiencies:
Axes
Polearms
Bows
Weapons:
Stormshifter (Cloudkiss) - Throwing Axe
Big Black Flying Death (Big Death) - Throwing Greataxe
Twelve Paces (Nine paces) - Polearm (Spear)
Mithril Arc (Arc of Gold) - Longbow
Strategy:
The title says it all, anyone can develop a cheese strategy.
Brute Force Option (damage, damage, damage):
Proficiencies:
Axes
Large Swords
Polearms
Weapons:
Coward's Flight (Backblighter) - Battleaxe
Light of Cera Sumat (Holy Avenger Cera Sumat) - Longsword
Scimitar of the Soulless +5 (Scimitar of Souls +3) - Scimitar
Life's Blood Drinker (Impaler) - Polearm (Spear)
Strategy:
CKD!! Uses sheer volume of damage to win (not for finesse people) SotS is there if you aren't a paladin (fast weapon, energy drain, dispel effect)
Ownage Option: (my favorite)
Proficiencies:
Axes
Maces
Polearms
Weapons:
Coward's Flight (Backblighter) - Battleaxe
Kegsplitter of Shaengarne Ford (Kegsplitter) - Battleaxe
*Stunner (Headknocker) - Mace
Burst Mace of Disruption +5 - Mace
Pudu's Fiery Blight (Pudu's Blight) - Polearm (Spear)
Holy Swizarnian Hammer of Lucerne (The Hammer of Lucerne) - Polearm (Halberd)
*I have to check the name, my cleric has this weapon
Strategy:
Here's the main idea: Coward's Flight induces panic and slows, Stunner causes confusion and Pudu's Fiery Blight stuns and lowers magic resistance, the other weapons are there for some specific purpose (instant-kill of certain types of enemies, NOT JUST kegs)
alrighty, i hope this stuff is useful to you. there is actually more diversity in the stuff i run, but that's because i have more than three weapon proficiencies - so this is the best i can come up with.
also, something that isn't apparent from the stuff i listed, bludgeoning damage can be VERY useful (except in the final battle).
argh, one final thought... since all sets have the axe proficiency, you can use Screamer, which is a very entertaining weapon - not ultimately powerful, just entertaining.

Hey Lightningpig
Hey Lightningpig
Can you fill me in on a couple weapons.
1.) mighty scalecleaver
2.) golden heart
Please note I am in Heart of Fury Mode
I think I have the golden heart, isn't it that sword that changes names to the leading charactor, if so what is so special about this weapon.
Is galloway trading post in Targos?

first things first, a slight correction to the ownage option - the maces proficiency should be replaced by the flails proficiency, and the HoF name of Headknocker is as follows:
Club of Confusion (Headknocker)
so apparently, both me and the equipment list on gambanshee were wrong, my apologies for that.
now on to patrick's query. what makes golden heart special are its abilities:
(+5 hit/dam/enc, +2 str/dex, +25 hp, perpetual haste, perpetual freedom of movement)
i found this especially useful because it freed up one of my ring fingers (now sans the ring of FoM). it is important to note, however, that this weapon is best at the very start of your HoF experience as your party maybe slightly under-equipped, as the game progresses this weapon becomes slightly obsolete which maybe the cause of your confusion as to its use. still, this is one +5 longsword that you will be hard-pressed early on to find a replacement for (though such replacements exist).
alright, just so you cannot doubt the authenticity of this statement, i checked the manual: the Galloway Trading Depot is indeed that store you find in targos town, also a clue to this would have been that the proprietor is named Deirdre Galloway.
another important thing to note: a lot of useful items come from the said depot, and though most of them become obsolete (except kegsplitter and twelve paces), they really help you get started the first time around (referring to HoF of course). however, not ALL of the items sold there are useful, so i would advice against buying every magic item there (unless you are collecting the items).
ok, as for mighty scalecleaver, i indicated in a previous post that i didn't know where to find it. on the bright side, i AM playing the game a third time with this particular party (just to reach that blasted level cap) so i may find it this time around (as i believe it is one of those items that is indeed randomized). in any case, i will let you know when i find it. i actually have two places in mind that i have a strong feeling about, so i guess it may be just a matter of time.
hope i cleared things up about the golden heart. oh, and yeah the full name of the sword is: 'The Golden Heart of (*insert name of character you used to talk to Deirdre here*)
