So there's a 5% chance per hit that your wounded and battered party members will be polished off by one of their own guys?

Gee, that sounds like an item **I** want in my party...

Yes, this is actually a really annoying sword. Even when the Paladin uses it it bursts occasionally (same odds as a critical hit) and decides that it's you that has attacked him and runs off hating your guts.

"Don't use such a damn silly sword then you silly man!!, it's not my fault "

No need to take it out on my party of ultimate badasses.

"NOOOO!!!! He's using that damn sword again!" screamed Milnar as he dived desperately towards Fooleer. Grabbing Fooleer's legs, he made an anxious plea, "Please... no."

"But the Orc must die!" roared Fooleer, and he swung the sword high in the air, ready to behead the unconsicious Orc on the ground. Milnar looked on weakly, when suddenly, there was a whistle in the air and Fooleer gasped.

"Tr... tre... treachery!" Fooleer muttered, as he collasped to the ground, an arrow stuck in the back of his head.

Turning around, Milnar saw Elehenar, the Elven Archer twiddling his thumbs nervously and biting his lower lip. Mumbling under his breath, he said, "Well, I'm not going to let him singe my hair again and put us in plaster casts for another month... ..."

Milnar nodded knowingly and holding Fooleer's sword, he tossed it aside in some ditch. Let some other fool party have it, he had had about enough injuries from it already.

What kind of genius made a weapon like that? Is it cursed???

Isn't there a club or something in Soa or ToB that does the same thing? You'd think the programmers would make it so that the explosion only hurt ENEMIES of the user, but NNOOOOO....

Weird.

[JR Jansen]

That club you are referring to is the club of detonation. This, iirc, is a ToB item. And yes those things really suck. If i read something like this, it's time to give it to ribald and have him sell it to some other dumb@$$.

ehh scratch that, there's more spoilers here already then I will give..

In any case, while 5K gp is not a big amount, there's no way in Nine Hells I will pay to some Cowled Fools for casting some spells. I simply kill them all and case closed. And without a Sorcerer char, killed them last time with my berserker (and his party) and this time will do it with a Cavalier. I don't play men in dresses, real men wear plate mail

So yeah, kill 'em all. And they do not have the Staff of the Magi. They have their papers, rocks and sticks. OK, scrolls, gems and sticks.

sounds a bit like jan jansen made it eh!- completely pointless magic weapon. its a bit like the 2 handed +3 sword in bg that you loose controll when you use it and go bezerk.

[Galdriel wovenmist]

The best thing about it must be that ogres get turned to stone by it. Well... Nah. Sounds like a BG1 wpn for early starters VS ogres. You dont meet alot of Ogres in bg2 if im right. Well Ill be seeing ya.
