EFU server is back online -Had a HD issue - Page 2

Now I am getting even more confused than usual.

I have never bothered with Holy Avenger in NWN because I thought it only added around 1d6 to damage and required a low level save against death on a 20 hit - something the Undermountain monsters would use to trim their nails with.

Does it do more than this? And is it right that only Paladins can use it? Some items with Holy avenger on them can be used by anyone. Perhaps the Holy properties only activate when wielded by a Paladin but as I don't usually play that class I don't know.

A Holy Avenger, in the hands of a Pally will add some divine damage, and will dispel magic on hit. Unlike regular dispels, however, this will remove auras, spell protections, etc, with a whole different table for DC saves. However, while I do this to be true, I have no idea what the table is. Also, a weapon with a +2 enhancement/holy avenger will be +5 vs evil in the hands of a paladin. Not a very effective weapon in Undermountain's lower levels, except that Merta's protections would melt away after a few hits, enabling the char to use more effective weapons.

Hmm, paladin/monk? I must try that, I'll never fail a saving throw again!

I have tried a Dex based Monk/Champion of Torm.

Very, very big on defence but couldn't hit a barn door with a shotgun (sorry, ouc, should have said longbow with unlimited supply of arrows).
