Light Sword and Excalibur

[sirfabius]

I see people talking about those two weapons all the time but no one will tell me what they do!
Can someone put their stats up pls?

[Ziggurat]

Maybe someone else can help you with the stats. Excaliber does 10-45 damage, twice that amount if you have 100% power strike (strength=100 + 100 points in power strike). For Excaliber, you get get other benefits such as many 10% resistances. The stats may be listed elsewhere. Ivory Blade is about 2/3 that, Diamond Eyes maybe 1/2. These weapons all have other good attributes that help.

light sword:5-40dmg, 10%kill, double dmg vs android, +6to hit +7initiative
excaliber:10-45dmg, around +4to hit but -4 initiative, some combat effect(forgotten) and some charges on lightning (the information of this I am not very sure since I don't use it)
BTW power strike does not give you more dmg. For each pt of str above 50, dmg is increased by 2%(1%for ranged and offhand). So you get 100% bonus dmg for melee if you have 100 str.

Thanks that explains some things. But tell me why should I trade any of these weapons when I have a bloodlust, that gives like a bunch more attacks per round. Of course I do have other guys that use swords, but really, is any weapon better than bloodlust?

The real bonus with Bloodlust is the "berserking" giving double damage, a fighter has that abbility and can use it with any sword, but for say a samurai it is very nice.

It also has an initiative bonus which can increase the number of attacks for a slow character (A fast character will max out anyway). But the light sword has an even better initiative bonus, making it the overall most versatile (and in my opinion best) weapon in the game.
