Belm/Scarlet Ninja-to Combo and a Spear Question

Well it turns out I did too much predrinking and am unable to drive to my friend's birthday party, so here I am thinking about interesting combos for BG. So, Belm and Scarlet, which each add an attack. I wonder just how insane this could get with Grand Mastery and 3 stats in dual wielding for a Kensai. I'm also debating if a Kensai would be the best choice.

Another thought I had would be dropping belm and relying on the extra speed to use Kachiko's wakizashi to kill through wisdom loss. Just some random thoughts I wanted opinions on.


And on a completely unrelated note, which kit do you think would be most appropriate to wield spears with? I've always loved the idea of a spear but have never been able to decide on a kit.

Kundane also gives you an extra attack. Even though it doesn't say in the description. The Scarlet Ninja-To is a good weapon in itself, but only monks can use it. Any fighter could use Belm or Kundane but you'd probably be best off using it off-hand and pair it up with a nastier weapon in the main hand. Celestial Fury comes to mind...

I had a party going with out spell casters except Valygar and Minsc, but I'm going to start it over. The reason is the Scarlet Ninja-To. Instead of a thief dualled to fighter as protagonist I'm going to use a fighter/thief. With Use Any Item he'll be able to use the Scarlet Ninja-to. In the main hand I'm aiming for the Flail of Ages or Spectral Brand the last one when he'll back-stab.

Mazzy will get Kundane and Short Sword of the Mask, Valygar will get Celestial Fury and Belm and Minsc and Keldorn will use Two Handed Weapons.

Using two of these weapons will of course get you lots of attacks but non of them have all that great effects. But suppose you have one attack with one weapon in the main hand and nothing else. Then you add Belm to the off-hand. Now you'll have three attacks per round instead. One with Belm and two with the main hand weapon.
