Back when I was a fencer, I once (quite accidentally) struck an oppenent inna fork with a fencing sabre. Believe me, he was stunned for a lot more than two rounds (and I was mortified).

If Minsc hit somebody in that critical a spot with a flanged mace, he wouldn't just suffer a morale failure, he'd suffer a life failure. Guaranteed.

Okay, I know it's a game, and the idea is more for fun than anything. [img]smile.gif[/img] I do think the item upgrade should require a quest-specific ingredient, though. Otherwise, it's just a by-product of playing the game. Maybe you could have some special kind of "nuts" found only in one of the three "new" areas reachable in ch 6? I always thought they were rather bland areas, anyway. Unfortunately, this will mean Minsc can't upgrade his mace before ch 6, but then no other weapon can be, either.
