The Equalizer of Gran March: First appearance Greyhawk Adventures
Also known as the sword of neutrality, this silver long sword is a tool for the balancing powers of the universe. Its creator desired that it be used to equalize (or, more accurately, to terminate) the extremes of nature, shifting the universe closer to the true neutral alignment. Only a character of true neutral alignment can fully use this sword. In the hands of such a character the weapon is treated as a +3weapon when determining what can be hit by it, even though it's attack and damage bonuses are only +1. In the handsof a true neutral character, the sword recieves special combat modifiers according to the characters alignment.
opponents alignment - - - - - - attack/damage bonus
Lawful neutral/chaotic neutral - - - - - - +1/+2
neutral good/neutral evil - - - - -- - - - +2/+4
lawful good/evil/chaotic good/evil - - - - -+3/+6
each time an opponent of an extreme alignment is struck, the creature must make a saving throw versus spells or be disintegrated. Against true neutral opponents the sword recieves only the bonuses of a +1 longsword
