    I'd say the Warblade +4 is one of the best (or at least best looking ;) ). Maybe the Silver Vorpal sword (or whatever it's called) is better, but i don't remember if it's +3 or +4. It's special power is really good though...

    Depends on where you are in the game for the pieces of the Vorpal Sword (which is, IIRC, a +3 weapon with a great extra feature).

    Spoilers

    Saemon gives you the blade when you take ship with him off of Brynnlaw. You get the second piece (hilt) after you return from the Underdark and are accosted by some Githyanki in the city (I believe that the encounter is set to take place only in the city, but I may be wrong about that). Kill them for it.

    By the way, Carsomyr is the best two handed sword, but you must be a paladin to use it in SOA.

    It may take some time for the Gith to attack you. Anyway - the attack is not area depended, except that in my games it always happens in the city. I have met them in slums, docks ...
    The last time they somehow got separated, so I discovered that the bastards do not carry the hilt :confused: . But when I entered the area for the next time, I was attacked again with the "lost" one - and got the missing part :D

    I like dualling the Belm scimitar with the Blade of the Roses. 1 extra attack and +1 CHA. Also, does the weapon have to be a sword technically? Some of the best weapons aren't. Sorry, I'm new.

    I hate to preach for the choir but Celestial Fury is one wickedly nice blade. I also like the Short Sword that grants an extra attack which you get in the planar prison. Cant remember its name at the time though :(

    I think it's Belm that grants the extra attack.

    :confused: I thought I got that from the barn near the Rakshasa fight, not the Planar prison. Is there another sword that grants extra attacks?

    Belm +2 is found in the barn, but it's a scimitar, not a short sword. I think the sword is named Kundane, and it is a +2 weapon. It doesn't read anywhere that it grants an extra attack though, the description just says that there is no speed factor or something like that.

    The short sword is called Kundane, and does grant an extra attack just like Belm (check it out with Infinity Explorer or Near Infinity).

    I also like Arbane's sword - it grants immunity to stun, web, grease, entangle, and hold (far more than its description).

    Celestial Fury for a first choice.

    But... Lilacor! I mean, it's a sword, and it talks... *childish giggle* It talks!

    Char: Do you have any advice, oh *thingy-ma-jingy* sword?

    Lilacor: Me? Advice, uhhh, kill someone, then take all their gold, then find someone richer, and kill them too... *laughs like a maniac*

    Or something like that... :grin:

    Hehe!

    Frosty

    Celestial Fury, since it suited my Kensai well. I especially like its ability to stun.

    [​IMG] Blade of roses is not to shabby of a sword.
    There's nothing extremely special about it. +2 charisma for character but he really needs charisma when you have the ******* ring!!!
    Arbane's sword was quite helpful in casting web and destroying enemies early on when they couldn't free themselves. I felt so bad equipping arbane on someone and casting web the enemies were so helpless it was funny.

    Well, I like the way the Equalizer looks, it's pretty cool :cool:
    But my favorite is Carsomyr. I like that it can pierce all magic, it's helped ALOT.

    Well, I like the Equilizer because it's really difficult to put together (I hate Mindflayers) and does incredible damage against demons, evil people, and even does disurbingly good damage to Irenicus. That dual-weilded with Spectral Brand...ooooooooo! It's also one of the few weapons that are blue!
