Dual-wield Cera Sumat. Drow Paladin. Stacking SR

[SilmarilPhoenix]

Hello good people,

Can you folks give share some of your expertise on stackable Spell Resistance and Paladin level-ups?

I will soon create a party. I will play on Insane and then export them to HOF, raising their levels to 30. The party contains:
Fighter 4/ Paladin 26
Human Cleric Lathander (Fire blaster, GSF: Evocation, Spirit of Flame)
Aasimar Cleric Bane (Spell caster, GSF: Enchantment, Spell Penetration)
Drow Rogue 2/ Abjurer 28
Drow Wizard 30
Drow Wizard 30

I will have access to 2 holy swords: the Cera Sumat Holy Avenger and the Light of Cera Sumat. Both bestow spell resistance. If my Paladin were to dual wield these 2, dismissing the to-hit penalties in favor of SR, would he stack the Light’s 30SR and the Cera’s 15SR for an obscene 45SR? Is it worthwhile to make the Paladin a Drow and not Aasimar in order to max this stat? A Drow Fighter/Paladin would get a EXP penalty.

Furthermore, after completing each Cera Sumat quest, every paladin in the party gains +1STR and +1WIS, correct? So if my Morninglord (but not the Dreadmaster, as he is not Lawful Good) takes 1 lvl paladin, will he gain +2STR +2WIS? If it does no good to dual wield these swords, can I give the outdated Holy Avenger to a Morninglord 29/ Paladin 1 for good results?

I read about a quest made specifically for Dreadmasters: after killing Hierpherus(sp?), Dreadmasters supposedly gain +2 WIS. Can anyone verify or deny this? When I complete the quest again in HOF, will I stack an additional +2WIS? That sounds like sufficient motivation to include a Dreadmaster in every HOF party.

There is a HOF weapon named Scimitar of the Soulless +5. The scimitar’s special features include
Energy Drain: -2 to Attack Bonus / -2 to damage, -10 to max hit points (Fortitude save -4) on target.
The save -4 penalizes the target, correct? Will consecutive Energy drains stack? Can I triple drain, or only inflict 1 drain per enemy at a time?

Another weapon, the Screaming Axe, includes these stats:
Damage Type (melee): Slashing
Damage Type (thrown): Missile (piercing)
Special:
Slashing: +3d6 Slashing damage
Spellward: Immunity to silence spells
Returning
If I use this for melee and never for throwing, does the special +3d6 slashing damage apply? Or does it only apply to throwing?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

i actually think all the weapons in IWD2 are bugged.

with the maximize attack feat i checked some different weapons and those special +3d6 slashing or +1d6 fire is a whole lot of crap.

the Greatsword of Virtue in all regeards should do 7d6 damage all together against a chaotic evil opponent but it only does 18 damage at max.

really? Methinks it max attack only works with base damage. did it give you two values one after the other? thats what my winged blight does
