Unless against boss baddies with super low saves.
Always use Celestrial Fury to buy you time. Stun THEM! |

CF is great but unfortunately its very hard to stun an opponent almost all though creatures have saves agains it.

cf stuns enemies for me on a very regular basis. Its very effective, I would agree second in total strength behind the Crom Faeyr (which is much more costly and time consuming to find/build). Also no one has mentioned the blindness and lightning spells that come with the cf. The lightning strike can be useful in a pinch.
But, alas, tis true that in ToB it becomes pretty useless. In ToB, it seems like the + factor of a weapon is all that really matters... |

I heard about bastar swords are very nice in ToB? And they can be wielded with 1 hand yes?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but... The only weapons you can backstab with are: longsword, shortsword, staff, dagger, and katana? no two-handed sword backstabs? or bastard sword? Scimitar?
And what is up with the monks hide in shadows? can you 'back-punch'? I tried, so far didn't work. |

You cannot backstab with longsword or 2h sword. You can bs with dagger, short sword. I dont know 'bout katana.

yes, you can backstab with longsword (at least in BG2 you can). I think you can backstab with any weapon a pure thief can use (except for the Staff of Magi).

thieves can BS with longswords and katanas just fine.
CF is insane the ammount of stuns you get with it. I like to dual wield CF with some form of utility weapon. daystar for undead,blackrazor for just general fighting etc. Another good combo with cf is the pixie prick. You can really get an opponent standing around doing nothing with that combo. If you don't think CF is strong then you might have a pretty strong party and not be realizing what it is doing. I don't see it as a weapon that dominates the super hard fights but what it does for me is it sees my party through countless battles making sure they take less damage than they normally would have. and getting a stun on a spellcaster or a monster with good specials can make a big diff... |
