Yes. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'm not sure if it effects the damage, though...
Does -50% Fire Resistance will cause a Fireball to do 150% damage?
I think it does, but any Infinity Engine experts might know better... Weimer?

Imagine using GWW on a very tough foe without acid resistance, after one round he should be down to -250% Acid Resistance and both the defensive and offensive abilities of the sword should work at almost quadruple effect :D
It would only really shine vs those with massive amounts of HP, weaker foes would die before having their resistances lowered by a significant amount.

Just a reminder that Paladin can specialise in a lot of weapon types. Those is no need to stick to just one weapon type.

If I remember my lore correctly, the cap for negative resistances is -100%.

Not 100% positive, but I was fairly sure that Foebane was +5/+6 vs demons, rather than +5 with an *additional* +6 damage done to demons. Surely that would raise the average against these creature types to 13.5, not 18.5?

Just a note, get a fix from Baldurdash for this weapon, since the users MR can prevent the gaining of the extra HP which is mighty annoying, especially if you're dual wielding (which I know you won't be) with the Purifier+5 and additional MR increasing items! It should be blocked by enemies MR however (although no saving throw is allowed for those without MR).

Foebane is 2d4 +5, +1d4, +6 at its' very best.

This will give you an average of 18.5 damage.

For comparison, the Purifier is 2d4 +5, +5 at its' very best.

This will give you an average of 15 damage. Purifier works better as an off-hand weapon though, unless you want to combine it with the Defender of Easthaven. In which case, you get your Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance up the wazoo. ;)

Of course, things get trickier when you factor in Critical Hits. ;)

So are you saying foebane is 2d4+5 with an additional +6 to undead/demons etc? This is what I want to know, bacause its description is a little vague. At first I thought it meant that it did 2d4+5, but against undead/demons 2d4+6?

I am under the impression that it is an additional +6, not +1.

True, but for role-playing reasons, I want to limit my Pally to one main weapon and a secondary weapon, not two or three main weapons. The main weapon is the one he'll be using pretty much all the time so I need it to be very well rounded, the secondary weapon I'll only use to finish off monsters I cant kill with the main weapon, such as trolls. The weaker the secondary weapon is compared to the main weapon, the better, really.
