    I think mine would have to be the Drow Full Plate +5 (it's too bad I can't use it after the underdark :()

    The Holy Reaver and the Vorpal blade are THE weapons. Also, a +3 katana is wonderful... :)

    Bag of Holding is pretty nice.

    Ring of Regeneration is nice.

    That's about all I know so far ;0

    I love my Holy Avenger! Dispel, dispel, dispel!! And with Plate of Balduran, Helm of Glory, and an extra charisma point from a Baldur's Gate's Tome in BG1 I got one striking Paladin... too bad charisma doesn't effect item prices as in Icewind Dale.

    [​IMG] Um, Charisma does effect item prices in IWD... I know, just played it yesterday and a paladin gets to pay 810gp for a plate mail while my mage char had the price set at 900... same goes for selling.

    I am rather fond of vecna's robe personally, maybe not the best item, but my favorte so far (I just left the underdark, dont remember which chapter I am on) If I can find an item to lower the ac on my kensai, that will definatly win for a favorite item though.

    as I said, "too bad Charisma doesn't affect price as in Icewind Dale"... which means that it DID effect prices in Icewind (I know, I played it) Only Reputation effects it here.

    nicksull, Charisma does effect prices in BG2. prices went down when i put a Ring of Human Influence (which raises CHR to 18) on my leader. to be more specific, when i took off the ring (now a CHR. of 17) and entered a store, Chain Mail was 95 gold. when i put the ring back on and went back in, Chain Mail was 90 gold and just about all item prices dropped.

    Thanks Wingfoot! When I log off I'll load BG2 and see what happens when I drop my Helm of Glory and Balduran Plate and make a purchase.

    Man, just found that Celestial Katana... wish I had someone proficient in it.

    I'm only in the Asylum now, but my personal favorite item so far, and the most useful, is the Ring of the Ram. Instant damage, great effect of throwing them across the room. I've used it to kill many of the tougher enemies, such as beholders, mages, and that one Tanar'ri.

    OO... anything that keeps me from and my friends dying in combat... (Which is pretty much everything) Ring of Human Influence is nice... sure did attract Aerie fast... though she was wearing it... Doh... And HEY! You're mean! You kept the Black Razor? Just cause he is in hell doesnt mean he's bad ya know! Bah!

    So far, I like the Flail of Ages. So far it's the best weapon I've found, and my cavalier rocks with it...almost as much as Mazzy with her bow

    I have some pretty cool armor for a thief, but I don't have a straight one in my party that I could use it on. The Nights Gift +5. Still holding on to it.

    [​IMG] My Dwarven fighter/cleric REALLY likes his returning +3 hammer.
    Note: It is hard to make him happy -
    He doesn't admit it but I can tell !

    [​IMG] the Amulet of Power has to my favorite so far. 5% magic resistance, can cast vocalize, and my favorite bonus; casting time is reduced by 1. i gave it to Nalia for now. she can rip off Magic Missle or Chromatic Orb in no time.

    IIRC, that amulet has one more excellent ability: Negative plane protection. A F/M can go toe-to toe with vamps and not go down to level 1 in 10 seconds-I HATE it when that happens :(
