I think the priestess in the severed hand gives it to you as a reward for completing one of her quest but I can't remember. Stats are DMG: +2 THACO +3 so quite better than Giant Killer unless you are facing Ettins, Frost or Fire Giants. I usually hang on to the Giant Killer. |

Slings will never compare with bows in IWD, but at least you get to add your STR modifier to the damage. |

The Giving Star is a great early-game weapon, but it can't be used by good characters
Otto, Yes, that is one reason why I had one DC Cleric aligned good and the other neutral. Slings will never compare with bows in IWD, but at least you get to add your STR modifier to the damage. I also go bows whenever I can. But in a party with 2 DC Clerics and 1 DC Fighter/Druid, I have a lot of sling power. -------------------- What's a party, without a song? Bards ROCK! Party On!! |

Thanks. I've been liking maces more, too. I guess hammer is more of a BG2 weapon (crom fayer, for those of you who play BG2). Don't rangers have to be good? If not, then maybe I'll go with a neutral one next time.

Rangers do have to be good.
And there are no uber-hammers in IWD, unfortunately. However, there are some very good ones. You can't really go wrong with either hammers or maces. Flails aren't that bad either. The +2 Stunning Flail in DE is very useful, and I've used it all the way up to the end battle of IWD before. It really helps against big, tough opponents.

Conlin's hammer is free and a very good mid-game weapon if you don' have HOW. Just return from DE after saving Shemeesh so you can use it against Y________.

I've never been all that impressed with Conlan's hammer. It's really just a +1 weapon with the special feature that it can hit all creatures - it only really comes into its own against golems.
I prefer to use the stunning flail against Y. It does better damage, and if you happen to stun Y (or any other powerful opponent), it saves you from taking a good bit of damage. The Defender Axe is good too. Anyway, you can win that fight without going toe-to-toe, and that's a better option anyway.

Update:
It is my DC Cleric[9]/Fighter, Luke D'Eloborue (God's Wolf of Sorrow) who has The Giving Star. AND he is still using it as his primary weapon in TotLM! Good weapon. Hard to believe I bought this, and in Kuldahar, no less. -------------------- What's a party, without a song? Bards ROCK! Party On!! |
