I try to keep my discussions and in general, my posts, interesting. I for one, know how boring it can be to write endlessly in an impassionate manner. Engineering Technical Reports and all that. *Shudder*

I would counter that this is an SoA Forum, and you will be surprised how many players do not have ToB( especially those unfortunate to have Macs).
That aside, even if you take into account ToB, a lot of the monsters do not fall in the extreme alignments.

Yes. Fire Giants, Demons, Drow, etc... do fall into those categories, but what about the Elementals( like Ogremoch. You do not want to use the Equaliser against him
), Golems, Monks( True Neutral, whoops), etc... ...
In specific situations, I suppose the Equaliser can shine, but overall... other weapon combinations will outshine it. To add further insult, the enchantment is only +3. True, so is the Silver Sword, but that is a Vorpal Weapon! Instant-Death beats damage almost anytime. Not to mention that the Silver Sword is literally
GIFTED to you.
"Here! Take this blade!"
2 Chapters later... ...
"Yo! I hold the hilt and my combat skills suck, but I need that blade to make this awesome weapon. Did I mention my combat skills suck? Yeah they suck big time. I think you can beat me and make the sword yourself."
As I mentioned before, you literally had to go through Hell and high-water just to get the parts for the Equaliser, and the result is frankly disappointing.
Here is a simple question for you. If you had to choose between the Celestial Fury, or the Equaliser. Which one will you choose?
