    Like the title say's what weapon combos are there that can only be described as cheese, mods included? I'll start

    Celestial Fury + Celestial Fire (Celestial fire is from the NeJ mod which takes you to Icewind Dale

    Special: AC +3
    +20 fire damage to evil enemies (nearly everyone in BG)
    +20% resistance to slashing attacks

    THACO: +3 bonus
    Damage: 3d6 +3
    Damage type: slashing
    Weight: 10
    Speed Factor: 3
    Proficiency Type: Long sword
    Type: 1-handed
    Requires: 12 Strength

    Not usable by:
    Clerics
    Druids
    Mages
    Evil characters


    The Answerer + Sanchuudoku +4: Acidic Katana

    STATISTICS:

    Equipped Abilities: Regeneration (1 hit point every second), Immunity to Acid, anyone attacking or casting spells on the wielder is subject to an Acidic Backlash.
    Combat Ability: Each hit lowers the target's acid resistance by 25% for 18 seconds and inflicts 2d4 acid damage.
    THACO: +4 bonus

    Weight: 8
    Speed Factor: 0

    Also I really don't think that Crom's 25 strength is that great, you can drink apotion to give you 24 which is not much difference really and you can take advantage of weapons with other bonuses as well as have the str bonus.

    In my opinion Crom Faeyr and Axe of Unyielding +5 (or Runehammer +5, when fighting against undead) is maybe the most powerful weapon pair in unmodded game. Just put all proficiencies in two weapon fighting, war hammer and axes.

    CF + CF, of course!

    Crom Fayer makes your str 25 and does decent job on its own, but what's more, it pumps already devastating strikes of Celestial Fury. By Crom, that's a fury!

    Ya foe and angurvadal, also black razor and angurvadal. Axe of unyielding and angurvadal or crom is very good as well. Axe of unyielding is the best weapon in the game, with or without mods though. Foebane and belm or kundane is nice too for the extra hp drains. The answerer over angurvadal is a great combo also.

    Have to agree with ArrynMogerim, Celestial Fury in the main hand and Crom Faeyr in the off hand is a devastating combo.

    With Weimer's Item Upgrade mod, for assassins, the Dagger of the Star +5 in the main hand and Quietus +4 in the off-hand is also a deadly combo... 8x backstab damage, chance of extra ~3d6 elemental damage and also chance to be rendered invisible after the backstab... :eek:
