In my opinion, longsword is a better choice then katana because there's only few good katanas but lots of good longswords. And the longswords are much powerful than katanas? Celestial Fury is a good blade but not so great as I thought. Everybody was talkin' 'bout it's the best weapon in th' game. But its lightnin hit and stun chance is only %5?

Definately longswords if I had to choose between the two, but Don't overlook bastardswords either; there a good cross between the two handed and the long swords and do nice damage. True, in the beginning there aren't many choices but once in the spellhold and underdark, you will find a few nice ones and there worth the wait. That goes triple for TOB...

cf's stun is on each hit unless they save vs spells. the 20pts lightning is 5%, yes.

I like CF for its stun ability. Many a monster has been stunned into immobility before finally being "chunkified".

CF is by far the best single handed weapon in the game - until you get the stuff from TOB. The stun effect saved my bacon loads of times, only dragons seem immune to it. Shame that the fight with the slavers to get CF is so hard - definately NOT for low level parties!!

Many of the good longswords are overrated or come too late. The pick of the bunch is Blackrazor but given the time you get it it's useless. The Equalizer likewise takes too long to get and is not worth the wait. There are some good longswords in ToB though. The best swords in SoA are 2H swords. There are 3 +4 2H swords in the game - Soul Reaver, Warblade and Carsomyr. ------------------ |

Man..
I cant believe it.... This CF is really a KILLER!? That's why there's a warning in proficiency slots of Katana. Did u ever noticed it? It says: Warning. Katanas are found very rare so be careful before you choose this weapon. So there's lots of "fine" longswords but only 2 or 3 SUPERIOR katanas. So katanas are worth of it. I'll dual wield it with a another mace +3 yeahh |
