Carsomyr from BG2 is a greatsword. You can give any item Holy Avenger properties using the toolset - you can have a Holy Avenger Greataxe if you want.
As Tobbin has spoiled above, Aribeth's sword has Holy Avenger properties, meaning it gives 1d6 Divine damage. That's all the Holy Avenger property does AFAIK. And Aribeth's sword has alignment restrictions anyway, so unless you're planning to be a blackguard (evil paladin which is not an available char class anyway) you won't be able to use it. Hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Holy Avenger.
In the hands of any character other than a Paladin!!, this sword performs as a +2 longsword. In the hands of a Paladin, this holy (+1d6 ((obs, edited in an errata to 2D6!!)) points of bonus holy damage against evil creatures) becomes a +5 longsword., creates a spell resistance of 15 in a 5-foot radius, and casts dispel magic (usable every round as a standard action) in a 5 foot radius at the class level of the Paladin. (Only the area dispel is possible, not the targeted dispel or counterspell version of dispel magic.)

Well thats the one from DMG at least, for the in game version, I donīt know if there is any other then Aribeths...
For the sake of argument the HOLY ability adds 2D6 of damage, hence the errata and stupid that people havenīt changed it, and Wizard is known for not being updated on their on errataīs
VERY KNOWN! Just check the forums over there hehehe..
