the weapon that has always bugged me in BG2 is the Wakizashi. This is supposed to be *the* offhand weapon used in combo with a katana, but:
1. there are only 2 magical Wakizashi in the whole game (I think, I use shadow keeper and did a search, only came up with 2 entries)
2. there is no incentive to use it, no bonuses, they just suck so why would you ?

I think the Wakizashi class would be much improved if it did something like... totally negate thac0 penalty for dual wielding (as this is what it is *designed for*).

The ninja-to is another weapon I can't fathom a use for (except for the bonus merchant one that is "monk only" (and why would you ruin a monks fist bonus by giving him a crappy sword ?)
