Seeing as everyone seems to be advertising their custom weapons I thought I'd put one in here for people to check out.
Keep in mind I don't make God-type weapons (except one). I try to keep them balanced - just my approach. This one is an actual Forgotten Realms weapon from the Myth Drannor campaign. Heartcleaver: Vorpal Axe +3 This monstrous executioner's axe is balanced and sized for large humanoids; humans and the like must wield it two-handed as a halberd. It requires 18 strength to use. The axe blade is as massive as a medium shield, with its razor-sharp edge constantly dripping with a poisonous green ichor. This weapon is not native to the Realms, but was forged on Gehenna. Heartcleaver was the weapon of the monstrous nycaloth Gaulguth, the most fearsome of the three nycaloths at the head of the Army of Darkness that sacked Myth Drannor in the Year of Doom. After Gaulguth's death at the Battle of the Lost Trench, the axe was reportedly lost among the baatezu-infested ruins of the former City of Song. STATISTICS: Combat ability: 25% chance each hit to instantly kill opponent (save vs. death/poison at -2) +2 points of poison damage per round for 12 rounds (save vs. death/poison for none) THAC0: +3 bonus Damage: 1D10 +3 Damage type: slashing Weight: 20 Speed Factor: 10 Proficiency Type: Halberd Type: 2-handed Requires: 18 Strength Not Usable By: Druid Cleric Mage Thief ------------------ Memnoch - Custodian of the Order of the Holy Flame |

Awesome halberd Memnoch. I wish weapons like two-handed axes and hammers were more common. They had them in Icewind Dale but in BGII they did not. The bams the used in Icewind dale were alot better too. What bam did you use for this weapon Memnoch?

Not bad. How about an alignment restriction, or have the user gradually turn evil one step ata time? (e.g., L-G becomes L-N then L-E)
