    [​IMG] People who played HoF for just the prologue knows this. It's the longsword sold at Gallaway's Shop known as the Golden Heart of *insert character name here*.
    It's 1D8+5
    +2(or was it 3) to STR and DEX
    +25 Max HP
    Wielder under Haste and Freedom of Movement
    And I think there were some other stats.

    Voice your opinion. Is it better than Cera Sumat, Holy Avenger(Holy Avenger +5)?
    Or, in case you have a better longsword, other than Light of Cera Sumat(Holy Avenger +10), put the name and stats of that sword here.

    the Golden Heart Of <CHARNAME> is a pretty sweet sword if you ask me....

    Carsomyr: The Holy Avenger can be found in Baldur´s Gate 2 Shadows of Amn,
    I´ll not go into details, you can find enough info on that in the BG2SOA forum

    Morgoth, that's BG2. We're talking IWD2 here ;)

    You can find Cera Sumat, The holy avenger, in Kuldahar, in the graveyard. Click on a certain tombstone to activate the quest.

    Those who played HoF also know that Cera Sumat becomes better if you get it in HoF mode.

    Damage: 1d8 +10
    Attack: +10
    holy: +2d6 against evil creatures
    Resistance: +30 spell resistance
    Spell Power: Can cast Dispel Magic, No limit per day

    No sword can beat that...

    OK, Armageddon Blade 2002, it's better than light of cera sumat and if you can find a sword (already in the game) that's better than this I'll buy you a beer.

    The following statement will be slightly :yot:

    Hope you can forgive me, seeing as I am a n00b to theese boards... ;)

    But I'm in my second HoF game, and I wondered if you know any great-swords designed for HoF?
    All I've camed across is "better" versions of normal weapons...

    Any help?

    [​IMG] Why argue between +10 HA, and the Golden Heart? Pick up Ambidex, and Two Hand and Just Dual Weild them Both

    +10 HA Right hand, Golden Heart Left. (HA hits harder, so should be dominate) And then the Golden Heart Takes left so you still get all bonuses associated with it..

    And as for the Armageddon stuff.. *Shakes Head* I'd rather take a Custom weapon than that.. I used a game genie on NES zelda.. And that seems like cheating to me..
