Make whatever you want, but do NOT base anything solely on the movie. Read the books before deciding anything.

Personally, I think Orcrist, Glamdring and Sting would be more fun than Narsil/Andruil. All three would probably be +3 weapons--Orcrist and Sting would provide substantial THAC0 and Damage bonuses against Orcs/Half-Orcs and Spiders, respectively, and Sting might also confer immunity to Web, as well. Glamdring, on the other hand, should have a bit of Blunt damage added to the normal Slashing.

I see Andruil as more of a Bastard Sword, myself. Strikes as a +5 weapon, no particular Undead-related enchantments.

I would use IEEP to make it, but those who know prefer DCTLP or Near Infinity.
