I think ankheg armor is treated as magical, in the sense that you cannot wear protection items. Or at least it was in BG.

A +2 sword with +1 cold damage WOULD be the strongest weapon in BG that I can think of. Or it's the +3 two handed sword of berzerk, although the berzerk may disqualify it...

In BGII, it would need to be at least +4 with lots and lots of extra bonuses... like the extra damage from Ryomaru's harmless staff in IWDII. It had a total of about a 83% chance of doing something special. the 3% extra is made of 1% chance of doing acid damage to user, 1% chance of poisoning the user, and 1% chance of casting "slay living" on the target. the 80% was various 10% chances to do various types of things. Poison target, do extra bludgeoning damage, slashing, peircing, target has hold person cast on them, etc.
