    [​IMG] Do Elves get a bonus for Bast.Swords too? Or only for long swords? I thought I read somewhere here on the forum that they get the 'racial'bonus for every kind of long sword, including katana's, scimitars etc.
    If it is true, does it count for the Bastard sword as well?

    Iirc elves indeed do get a +1 THACO bonus on all long sword weapons - like longswords, bastardswords and katanas.

    And I really think it's a shame they didn't make Carsomyr a bastardsword ... the first good bastardswords you find in BG-2 are in the underdark and you almost get them simultaneously ... Jhor the bleeder is excellent due to it's cool weapon effect (some of the best weapons in the game are +2 only) and the blade of searing is excellent as well .... so the principle for every baastardswordwielder is to go to spellhold *early* ;)
