Another vorpal weapon? Why not Save vs Death at -4 penalty or suffer 20 points of poison damage, 1 per second? Save for half?

The Big Metal Unit is by far the strongest armour in the game, but you need three (weird) components for it.

Bronze Pantalettes - Obtainable in BGI (in the Friendly Arms Inn, on the third floor)
Silver Pantalooons - Obtainable in BGII : SoA (involves the live burying)
Golden Pantaloons - Obtainable in BGII : ToB (in Abazigals Lair)
Ohhh, that's why he gave me the underwear in Abazigal's lair, I was wondering what that was for. But, when you get all three, then what?

Take them to Kerrick the Smith in Amkethran, on top of the houses, in the shop where you can re-meet Lazarus in the relocated Arcane Archives. He'll know what to do with them.

WYVERN'S TAIL+4
(Wyvern's Tail+2, Wyvern Head, scroll of Wyvern Call, misc. gems and gold)
Morningstar+4, casts Wyvern Call once per day, slays Wyverns instantly on hit. 10% chance each hit that victim must Save vs. Wands with a +4 penalty or die.

Personally, I'm thinking the +4 penalty might be too much, as most enemies don't have very good Wands saves. But it's nice to see a Vorpal weapon that Clerics can use. (I'm also thinking of a Vampire-slaying weapon for Druids, either a Dagger or a Scimitar, made of wood.)
Hmmm... Save vs. Wands at +2 would have been better -- Clerics normally have only 1 ApR, so the chances aren't as high as it may seem. True, Fighter/Clerics (or late-dualed Swashbuckler/Clerics) can have (Greater) Whirlwind, but by the time you'll have it, you'll probably want a different weapon -- say, Ages +5. The components and the other abilities are perfect. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm....Save vs. Death or suffer poison & 100% Spell Failure for 1 1/2 rounds....yeah, that could work too. I'm wavering between the Wands save (get hit, the wand/weapon hits you with its spell) and the Death save (get hit, the big pointy bit on top might puncture your skull).

I also might need to fiddle with the components--As it is, it gives players a +4, Stoneskin-piercing, Vorpal weapon in Chapter 2, and there's nothing that says only Clerics can use it.
