The grandmastery patch fixes BG2 so that grandmastery gives the correct bonuses according to AD&D 2nd edition rules - the standard BG2 tables are substantialy less powerful. True purists say its cheating, the rest of us say its OK.

Anyway, onto Kachiko's Wakizashi +3. The problem is its WIS drain only lasts a 2 rounds, so most important creatures wont be insta-killable with it until your APR rises substantialy. However, WIS is not an important characteristic for most classes, so it might prove more powerful that I think. Trolls (all subspecies) have a WIS of 9, but Torgal himself has a WIS of 5. (Yeah, the boss it less wise than the followers. go figure).

I assume WIS=0 causes death, Ive never seen it tested. Should be.
