Welcome to the boards

First off I want to point out 1 thing I read in your post that you may want to doublecheck. You said you had minsc wielding 2 flails due to his prof in mace. A flail is not a mace you actually need the flail/morningstar proficiency to wield those so you may be suffering a penalty there. Flail IS a good proficiency to take however as there is at least 1 good flail to get.

Second off I don't want to make you sad or anything but as a half-orc you probably should have boosted your str up to 19 (its the only race that can do that naturally).

Katana's are a great weapon although there is not many out there. One of THE best weapons in the game is a katana however. We could spoil you to the location if you would like although the fight can be difficult.

There are some quests you can do that will get you setup with some decent magic items. They are also great for getting some levels for your chars. Nalia's keep is a nice quest to do early for example.

Now do you not have any magical katana's at all? If not I think you can buy a +1 katana in the adventurers mart. They are expensive but at least you will have a magical one to hold you over.
