Zuvio made a good point earlier about people re-rolling stats and c'mon I don't buy this...everyone has done it at some stage.
It would be considered cursed for balancing reasons, just like the Cursed Sword of Berserking +3 in BG. It's a +3 sword in BG, so therefore it's cursed for obvious reasons. The same would go for this almighty weapon, although if I had found it in the game, I would not use the HackMaster +12
