But I rarely used it. The small bonus against demons was actually less powerful than the acid of the Oozing Sword. —Alorael, who ironically used Demonslayer against monsters with extremely high acid resistance more than he did against demons, which usually have low acid resistance.

This may sound silly, but in one of my games, Demonslayer wound up on my priest. The resists and such. He even poked a couple of things with it. Though it is somehow fitting that a priest hold the mighty Demonslayer. Oh. And on a personal note, I am still more than a little miffed that Demonslayer is nothing more than a common butterknife broadsword now, instead of the fabled two handed cleaver it has always been. I thought about firing off an angry email to Jeff during the beta, but decided that complaining would do me no good. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish.

Demonslayer didn't shrink to a broadsword; Avernites just grew a whole lot since then. Or at least that's how my fighters are trying to rationalize weilding that puny butter knife. -------------------- Yeah, here's a sig. On to more posts... Posts: 17 | Registered: Sunday, May 30 2004 07:00 |

It got busted up and reforged a time or two, didn't it? So there was some shrinkage. A few pieces bounced under the couch and were lost forever.

Demonslayer isn't a bad sword... It is a lot better than how it was for A3. Defensively, it is still an exceptional weapon. Pair it up with some Gazerskin sandles and some boosted luck, and you have one very hardy warrior. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

It's not a BAD sword, but as the only weapon with a dungeon devoted to it, one would hope for something amazing. I agree, it's good defensive, I put it on my mage. My warriors already have high resistance to everything but mind effect, so more defensive resistance really would not help them. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

I almost never used Demonslayer, once I noticed that I was doing just as much damage with the Oozing Blade. It really was a shame... but I don't think I ever used it in A3, having run straight for the Mithril Blade. Anyway, the Radiant Soulblade was better than both of them. Isn't it a bit odd that all swords are one-handed now? It never quite registered in my mind... it would at least make sense to let sliths wield them one-handed. (Granted, that would make sliths horribly broken unless given some stiff penalty) -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

It's a gameplay decision to differentiate swords from spears. A two-handed sword is like a spear, in much the same way that a pencil without an eraser is like a pen. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

And violating the Code of Conduct, which is required of all members on this board. Specifically, you double-posted, which is against the CoC. Also you seem to ignore everything everyone ever says to you, because you ask the same questions over and over again, and you have not yet learned how to use the darn quote code. Put things BETWEEN the quote brackets rather than BEFORE them. It's really not that hard. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

The Code of Conduct I'm entertained by your denial of double posting followed immediately by admission that you don't know what it is, and then your edited comment that implies that you do know what it means. I am still Alorael. —Alorael, who may be led down the dangerous path of existential doubt. What if he isn't Alorael? What if he hasn't been Alorael the whole time?

QUOTE]It's a gameplay decision to differentiate swords from spears. A two-handed sword is like a spear, in much the same way that a pencil without an eraser is like a pen.[/QUOTE] Don't ever say that to somebody with artistic inclinations. I tried once, and only a visit from Hrickis enabled me to survive (I killed the mad twit a few hours ago – the quest description made me feel that there would be some conversation path out of it, but there wasn't). I'm still sulking about the way that you can't use two weapons in Avernum. I never actually did that in Exile, but that's not the point. Oh, and the lack of bashing/edged/pole differentiation.
