I found it fantastic against elemental fire creatures. I seem to have got a one-hit kill on the elemental Prince of Fire in ToB with it, and it was great against things like Burning Men, who you want to kill before they blind all your fighters.[...]Originally posted by polaris:
<STRONG>Path,
The description is great, but I found that in practice (once I had it), it did far less damage to fire type creatures than the description advertised....that was just in my experience.

I'd say that a *good* party could justifiably kill the entire city, as they are intrinsically evil creatures - think of the self-righteous paladin types out to wipe evil from the face of Toril. Likewise an evil party could sack the city for fun and/or profit. Only a True Neutral party would be under an obligation to maintain the balance by helping the Prince.Originally posted by polaris:

Finally, in order to get both parts....
Spoilers below....
You have to get the shaft from the planar prison (not so bad), and you have to get the head from the Sahaugin Prince's body. That means the only *good* way to get the Wave is to pickpocket the head off the Prince. Otherwise you have to side with the King (not good IMO) or slaughter the entire city (definately not good IMO) to get the Wave. [The one time I got the way, I inadvertantly attacked the Prince thinking he was one of the royal guards. I had to kill the whole city...but I got the wave ]
