Well they are illegitimate bastards after all!

+1 +3 vs Shapeshifters is a reward for an early quest (won't spoil) but Shapeshifters aren't the threat they were in BG1. Blade of Searing is the best, the rest are +1 with resistances etc, or +2. There are so many good longswords/claymores/shortswords plus the celestial katana, how much sword dominance do you need?

Ninja-tos are ripped off in this game. Only the Scarlet Ninja-to is really good, and only the bare-handed specialist Monk can use that!

Look upon it as encourgement to diversify. (What is a little mage doing with such a big sword anyway?)
