Sorry, another question I need to ask. I noticed that there a "normal" weapons in IWD that give a +1 THACO bonus. Magical weapons also have a bonus to THACO (+1 or higher, depending on the weapon). Is there any functional difference between, say a high quality longsword and a longsword +1? They both have a +1 bonus to damage and THACO, iirc.

If a monster can only be hit by +1 weapons or better, would the high quality sword be able to hit it?

Thanks.
