Bastard Swords VS Long Swords in ToB

[Zoltan]

Is it true that there isnt ANY 2-handed bastard swords in ToB? I cant decide for Minsc to go on with bastard swords or long swords what's your advice?

Also I heard about xp cap for ToB is 8 million. This means level 40. Can you really advance to this level??? If so, the game should be INCREDIBLE long??

There is a very good bastard sword, I can't remember if it is the foebane or Hindo's doom. One of them though. It's not two-handed though. And yes the cap is 8mil, but I've played two games through from SoA and we've only ever reached about 6mil. That's with 6 people though, if you had less you could probably get there.

the bastard sword is called Foebane+3, or upgraded +5
I prefered bastard swords, but there is a good long sword called Angurvadal
yes you can advance to level 40, but you might have to play the game a
couple times

First of all,

I DEFINETLY agree your signature message: "There's nothing like a gnome wizard to prove that size doesn't matter"

Yeah I like gnomes very much, they're a very funny race with their inventor, illusionist skills. Also they got very long names. And they are not bad-tempered and blunt like dwarves, not prideful like elves, not stupid like half-orcs not so much shortling like halflings.

I like gnome men and elven females )) -but not drow the high ones like AERIEEEE-

Well, we were talking about swords right? There was lots of longswords in
Soa only few bastard swords. I think still there's lots of longswords in ToB but also lots of bastard swords OR a few GREAT bastard swords and LOTS of FINE longswords?

And tell me, IS THERE ANY BETTER KATANA (only katana not longsword or scimitar) THAN CELESTIAL FURY IN TOB?

I'm sure there is at least one better katana than CF in ToB. I haven't got it yet, but its a safe bet to assume its there.

There are katanas with a higher enchantment than CF, but whether they are *better* all round, I would question.

There *is* this one in my game:


Skyblade +5
This is the fabled katana of Memnoch, the legendary Bhaalspawn also known as Gorion's Ward. It is usually dual-wielded by Memnoch with its twin blade, Celestial Wrath. It was the weapon that Memnoch used to banish the tanar'ri prince Demogorgon from the Prime Material Plane in the Year of The Gauntlet.

The full powers of the blade are unknown except to Memnoch himself. What is known is that this blade is a vorpal weapon of the highest order, and only those pure of heart can use it. When it decapitates an opponent, the victim's life energies are converted into pure energy, which then flares, striking all enemies nearby.

If you're of good alignment, you have nothing to fear from me.

Erk! Memnoch, i have much to fear from you. my CE Sephiroth character also wields a super sword, wanna hear about it? too bad, im tellin about it anyway!

This sword was wielded by the legendary Hero of the Planet. However, as the legend goes the hero went insane, burning down an entire town and slaughtering thousands. After he bruned down the town of Nibelheim, however, he went into hiding. Then five years later he re-emerged into public eye, and began slaughtering more. Even though his attempt at godhood was cut short by a foolish young boy when he was banished to another dimension, he continues the quest in his new dimension.
Since arriving there he has stopped a war, saved an entire region from war, become the hero of another town, and killed the Demon Prince Demogorgon. Also, his next attempt at godhood succeeded, as he was actually a Bhaalspawn, and was merely waiting to claim the throne of his dead father.

STATISTICS:
Thac0: +5 bonus
Damage: 1d12+5
Special abilities: +5 level 1, 7, 8, and 9 Mage Spells; 2 exra level 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 spells.

Sephiroth


Eat that Memnoch's goody goody blade!
------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.
