The Equalizer is fairly useless in a strategic sense.

In a roleplaying sense, however, the weapon would be the sword of choice in a party of druids led by a true neutral fighter. They could wander around hitting anybody that was too good or too evil with sling bullets, and then the fighter could wade in and finish them off with the sword.

In various permutations of true neutral characters, wielding The Equalizer would make sense.

Which does bring up another point: why are there so few excellent clubs in the game. I went all the way through the end of TOB, and Jaheira was wielding the same undead-killing club almost the whole time.
