What's best? THACO +2 or THACO +2 bonus?

Why can't I carry a shield with Everain's broadsword? It is a one-handed sword, after all?

Check your other QuickWeapon Slots. Are there any two-handed weapons in them? If yes, remove them.

Thanks, Dundee! I've currently got a two-handed composite bow there. It will be amended tonight!

while we're on the subject of Erevain's sword, is there any way of getting it while in Easthaven. I've tried many times but every time i kill him (no prizes for guessing my alignment!), Hrothgar mauls me as soon as i leave the inn!

NobleNick,

I like that- "pound your party into pudding." [img]smile.gif[/img]

You mention "deciding how often the weapon hits." How does the number of attacks factor into everything. I think I have a sword in my inventory that grants another attack per round. Is that another roll of the dice? If so, that seems to me to be much better than a +2 or even a +4 weapon, and maybe I should be using that more often.

Eh? There's no +2 weapon in Easthaven. Are you trying to maul Everand?

As for +1 attacks, one must understand the concept of ApR first. ApR is short for Attacks per Round. One round is six seconds, so if you have 2 ApR, you attack 2 times for every six seconds. Weapons that +1 ApR are very valuable. High ApR is usually king, and I always try to max out ApR before going for damage.

Highly enchanted weapons are still necessary though... due to innate weapon immunities of certain creatures.

Is it worthwhile to save up to buy some reputable artifact of the cutting sort from Kuldahar, or is it enough just to live of your haaapenstance vanquishes?

you can get Erevain's sword in easthaven by killing him when he's in the inn near the bridge (snowdrift inn?). the problem is when you kill him Hrothgar turns hostile. the only way i've found to keep the weapon is to quicksave before slaying Erevain and export the character with the sword and import said character to the quicksave. (hope that makes sense?!)

Isn't that as good as saying there is no legitimate way of getting a +2 weapon in Easthaven? Exploiting game mechanisms is not exactly what I would consider kosher in doing things. You might as well just CLUA it in to save yourself the trouble.

ACK!! that isn't what i meant! (perhaps i didn't explain myself well!) what i meant is that the quicksave import method is the only way i've found of getting the weapon - i didn't actually use this method in my game. i was wondering if there was a way of getting it without angering Hrothgar. after all, why would Erevain posess the weapon if there is no way of getting it in easthaven?
