My fighter needs a new weapon to hit more creatures. It says that my weapon has not affect a lot of the time. In my 4 quick weapon slots, I have:
1- Sword of Balduran (I use the sword normally)
2- Mace of Disruption +1 (I use when I'm fighting undead)
3- Equilizer (For creatures like umber hulks and mages that cast mind spells)
4- Blackrazor (I don't really use it)

I have 5 proficiencies in Long Sword, and I need a 1-handed long sword that can hit just about all creatures (like a +5 sword, not a +2 or +3). I was going to use the sword Angurvadal +5, it seems like a great weapon. The only problem is that it sets the users strength to 22, and my character has been through BG1 so many times that I have brought his strength up to 24. Other than the loss of strength, it seems like a very good weapon. I'm also looking for a weapon with a low speed factor, and by low, I mean from 0-3, although I don't really mind speed factors a little higher than that. If the sword is restricted to an certain allignment that you will (hopefully [img]smile.gif[/img] ) suggest, I'm a Neutral Good Fighter. Thanks in advance!

Well there are quite good swors out there:
Foebane+5-very good bastard sword
The Answerer+4-slow but powerful Long Sword
Angurvadal+5-a trick. Equip Crom Fayer and re-equip Angurvadal

Should I place Crom Faeyer in the shield slot or put both weapons in the quick weapon slot and then equip Angurvadal+5?

Pu it in the shield slot so you gain 25 STR and then just re-equip Angurdaval. Simple as that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's not working. I put Angurvadal+5 in my 4th quick weapon slot, but Crom Faeyer in my shield slot, and checked my stats. I had 25 strength, but I'm equiping both weapons, and I'm not proficient in 2 weapons at once. So them I took Crom Faeyer back out and put my shield in the shield slot, and my strength is back to 22. Can you say specifically what to do?

I did not say that you will have permanent 25 STR. I just said that you will have 25 STR while wielding both weapons at once. I does not matter if you are profcient in both weapons. It is about damage. You must kill your enemy before he kills you.

I see, then I might as well deal with the loss of 2 strength or go on to another weapon.

Yes like you could wield Flail Of The Ages along with a sword. FoA is good becuase it has slow effect. But as i said:

.
So it is up to you:
you can deal more dmg per hit


or


you can dual-wield different weapons and have better offensive+deffenisve effect.

I wonder, can Shadowkeeper edit items? I just download it to see if I can make it so that Angurvadal +5 sets your stregth to 24 instead of 22. Is there a way to do this?
Edit: If so, how?

Another Edit: I just found the item on Item Browser, but not sure what to do.
