[Cerek the Barbaric]

Originally posted by SpongeBobTheDestoyer: That is definately one I'm going to start browsing Cerek, thanks. There are a lot of terribly overpowered items like you said, but since you get to pick and choose I don't have to get them. I just might get that Hackmaster +12 though!

hehehe...I've looked at that one myself a few times. I recommend Gandorf's Weapons. There are several items (many based on Greek mythology figures) that are nice items without being terribly overpowered. I've used katana's of Poseidon and Prometheus (they do +10 pts of cold and fire damage respectively) and the Club of Hercules grants the wielder (almost definitely Jaheira) a Strength of 25 (just like Crom Faeyr). There is also a very nice dagger that does decent (but not excessive) Fireball-type damage.

The one disadvantage to many of the "collections" is that no description is given of the individual items. You just have to download the entire collection and then browse that selection on an individual item basis.

Still, there are lots of good items to be found there. It's the best such site I've found so far (but I'm always willing to learn about more ).
