I expected to see Flails or Katanas, here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Throwing Impaler is good. It's in the same general ballpark as Carso, Ages, Fury, Magi, Foebane, Firetooth, etc. It's not as good as Ages, Fury, Magi or Foebane in my opinion, actually.

I second that.

It's a strong weapon, but it's not the strongest. It's competitive. It gives you a reason to pick spears but does not make them the best choice.

Which brings me to my next point... Bloodbane,
*shivers
or, in it's second name, the weapon of mass casual disembowelment (and thank you Butterfingers for that lovely description). Yeah, it's two handed. Yeah, it's a tough fight. Yeah, it's been done prior to Item Upgrades. But it's still needs to be toned down, in my opinion.
Why, you ask? You see... A ranged 1D6 +5 +STR Bonus weapon is decent, but not that hot. Adding it +1 ApR makes it mighty (a la Fire Tooth +3). Adding it 6 poison damage over the course of 6 seconds per hit makes it very powerful indeed (Spell Disruption and the like...). Now, adding it
Fury-like Stun (!) makes it simply unbalancing.
