You'll find celestial fury +5 in the item upgrade mod as well

Thanks for all your help with this guys, nice to know I had an idea that actually worked

Originally posted by Jim: Since we're using weapons here that do not appear in the official game (both CF+5 and Quietus+4), one could question their legitimacy. If one was to release a mod that contained a weapon that provided a * 10 backstab multiplier and 30 base damage, then all records would obviously be thrown out the window. What are your opinions on this? Personally, I feel that the maximum legitimate backstab should only be achievable using an unmodded but fully patched game.

Actually, I would agree with you 100% on this point - the SoTR does provide the highest maximum damage in a single strike. However, I've played through the game a number of times and I'm not really so bothered any more about being so strict on the rules, I like playing with new items [img]smile.gif[/img]

This project is intended to produce a character who is more than slightly devastating in melee, and can use backstabs to produce one-hit kills on 90% of enemies he encounters in the game. The reason I am using the two weapons is simply to give him more attacks than he would have per round than using the two-handed staff - I am getting far too lazy to swap equipment around over and over, I just want a couple of weapons he can get hold of early and use throughout the game.

RE: The item upgrade mod. I think is reasonably well balanced (not perfect, some poison based weapons spring to mind...), and much more 'balanced' than some other mods I could mention (such as the one that turned minsc and aerie into vampires and gave them vampric defences, such as regeneration and level draining abilities etc [img]smile.gif[/img] ).

Anyway, thats my two-penneth worth and thanks again for all your help

Thinking about it, I would LOVE to see Kuriosan try and take Celestial Fury +5 off this character.

He would get it

Then steal the holy symbol from a neighbouring post level 25 cleric and BAM 25 STR .

[/QUOTE]I believe the +1 DOMT that you have quoted is applied to the PRIMARY stat of the character in question. In this case, the primary stat would be dexterity.

So STR would be 24.

Potion of Cloud( or was it Storm?) Giant Strength + 1 Holy Symbol = 25 STR
