+1 Holy Weapon vs +1 Holy AND Lawful Weapon

Greetings, all!

How worthwhile is a lawful (Axiomatic) weapon for Co8 v8.1 New Content edition? I just made a LG Heironeous Cleric crafter to get Holy & Lawful weapons at level 7 or thereabouts and was curious how often this helps compared to just Holy weapons.

I also use Temple+ 1.0.29 which has new weapon mods. My party will be able to access all the weapon mods during crafting except Evil and Chaotic, not that I especially care about Evil and Chaotic.

Thankee!

 

Unless I'm mistaken, a good number of the new content opponents are also Chaotic Evil, so Holy Axiomatic weapons remain a good idea even after you defeat the Temple.

 

Agreed with everyone, however I discovered a great many opportunities available to many of the Cleric disciples. Even the plant domain has some interesting choices. There is a link to all of the Clerical benifits via god or domain or whatever. I will try to post it soon as it is suprising to even a veteran player.

 

I'm also curious about Temple benefits for a Holy Lawful weapon. I'm most of the way through the Temple but want to ensure maximum DPS considering I made a Cleric mid-game specifically to make LG weapons.

 

Hextorites (monster mash, WotGS) are LE, but the Slavers and Hickory Branch enemies are CE as far as I can remember. Axiomatic Holy weapons do 4d6 extra damage to CE foes but only 2d6 vs LE. It's certainly worth it in the temple; later on I guess it's a bit of a glass half full/ half empty situation. I don't usually bother because I generally prefer a different domain rather than being restricted to both L and G.

 

Keep in mind, if you give an item that has Axiomatic to a chaotic character they get a NEGATIVE level. The same alignment opposition applies for other types like Holy/Unholy/Anarchic

And I like having at least one cleric with the Sun Domain for the Greater turning

 

Very good point. Actually forgot about that.

 

The Cleric is just a temp to craft A&A, especially LG weapons.

 

I've played thru numerous times and I've never crafted a single item.

Not a scroll, not a potion, not a weapon/armor

Maybe one day i'll need to give this a shot

 

Congrats on not needing to craft anything!

I, however, found crafting one of the appeals of the game, and was crafting with a Wizard soon after this game came out in 2003 on an early playthrough.

 

Odds are when I do get around to crafting something I'd be all, "what!?! Why haven't I done this before?"

 

I never found any need to craft any Rods, Staves, or Potions in ToEE. However, I've made more SCROLLS, WONDROUS ITEMS, and MAGIC ARMS & ARMOR than I could count! I've pondered investing in wands, but it's one feat and a major money/EXP investment for a small number of wands.
