Better yet, use IEEP to create your own weapons and add a whole new element to the BG series.

Here's some samples I created some time ago, when ToB came out. They're more ToB than SoA, they would be much too powerful for SoA. Go to www.teambg.com for more details.

Thundercracker +5 (THUNDR01)
This legendary weapon was the personal weapon of Sejanus the Deathslayer, Chosen of Talos. It was said that the Storm Lord himself enchanted this massive throwing hammer. It can be used in melee but is at its most destructive when thrown, when it has the potential to strike dead anyone it hits.

STATISTICS:

Combat Abilities: Returns to thrower
Additional attack per round
10% of instant death each hit (no save)
THAC0: +5 bonus
Damage: 2D4 + 5, +10 electrical damage when thrown
Damage type: crushing
Weight: 4
Speed Factor: 0
Proficiency Type: War Hammer
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 9 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Mage
Thief

I created this as a personal weapon for Viconia.

Scythe +5
This is the legendary bow of the hero Isildur. It fires a never-ending stream of icebolts at a rate fast enough to cut a small army down (hence its name). Occasionally, the intense cold of the icebolt will stop an enemy dead in his tracks.

STATISTICS:

Equipped Ability: This powerful bow requires no ammunition
Combat Ability: 20% chance to stun target (save vs. spells)

THACO: +5 bonus
Weight: 2
Speed Factor: 0
Proficiency Type: Short Bow
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 6 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage

Kind of like a really fast version of Gesen's Bow.

Amulet of Shar
This dark amulet is a gift from Shar to her Chosen on Faerun. It provides the wearer with a formidable array of magical powers.

STATISTICS

While Equipped:
Magic Resistance: +5%
Vocalize
Decrease Spell Casting Speed by 8
Immunity to Level Drain
Wearer acts as if constantly under the influence of Improved Alacrity

Usable By:
Evil clerics

The Improved Alacrity spell makes this item extremely powerful. Again, I customized this weapon for Viconia.

Ultrin Egglin +5 (ULTRIN01)
This icy blue blade is a powerful drow artifact dating back to the Crown Wars. The name “Ultrin Egglin” means supreme warrior in the drow tongue, and supreme indeed is the warrior who wields this awesome blade.

STATISTICS

Combat Abilities: Each hit has a 50% chance of draining 2 levels from an opponent.
Gives +1 extra attack per round
Each hit heals wielder of 2 hp damage
Each round target must save vs. spells or be slowed
Immunity to Level Drain
Immunity to Fear and Confusion
5 pts of magical damage to any who hit the wielder

THAC0: +5 bonus
Damage: 1D10 +5 (+1 fire damage)
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 10
Speed Factor: 1
Proficiency Type: Bastard sword
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 13 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage
Thief
Good characters

I put this together as a complement to Foebane.

Skyblade, Vorpal Katana +5 (SKYBLD07)
This is the fabled katana of Memnoch, the legendary Bhaalspawn of the Sword Coast. It is usually dual-wielded by Memnoch with its twin blade, Celestial Wrath. It was the weapon that Memnoch used to banish the tanar'ri prince Demogorgon from the Prime Material Plane in the Year of Gathered Darkness.

The full powers of the blade are unknown except to Memnoch himself. What is known is that this blade is a vorpal weapon of the highest order, and only those pure of heart can use it. When it decapitates an opponent, the victim's life energies are converted into pure energy, which then flares, striking all enemies nearby.

STATISTICS:

Equipped Abilities:
Negative Plane Protection
-2 to AC
Resistance to Charm and Confusion
+2 spells of each level from 1 to 9
Gives +50% magic resistance
Combat Abilities:
Each hit has a 15% of instantly killing opponent unless save vs. death (-2 penalty) is made
Soulfire: each time instant kill effect occurs, all enemies within a 20' radius are struck by the victim's life energy for 6d6 damage (Save vs. Spell for half damage)
Can cast Holy Fire three times a day
THAC0: +5 bonus
Damage: 1D12 + 5, +2 electrical damage
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 3
Speed Factor: 1
Proficiency Type: Katana
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 6 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage
Beast Master
Non-good characters

I put this together for myself!
