    Does anyone know why Fruella's cleaver is a +1 enchanted masterwork weapon?

    So after all the effort you went to marry her, kill her and loot her, you can get some ok money when you sell her stuff, or maybe shes a really good cook.

    Do NOT sell this weapon. 1d10/17-20 X3 is an unbelievably good base for a weapon to enchant.

    Love Fruella

    I love it when she makes a critical hit and jumps in the air and spins. Take that Mr. Bugbear! Fruella is mean and rowdy and nasty. My kind of woman.

    I fought a female bugbear in the temple that had what looked like a magic cleaver, but IDing it had no effect.

    There are for sure...

    ...two cleavers, perhaps three in the game. They are pretty nasty. I've let elmo use one (in a past game when i had him along) until we came across a holy greataxe...which was even better, if only for the added benefit of stopping his drunken sway!

    BTW, modders, he's only supposed to act drunk, not actually be drunk. Can this be fixed so that accursed swaying will stop once you let him join up or something?

    I'm reading the original T1 now and it says he appears tipsy and jovial, but is not. He's an agent and spy, sort of. The drunk routine is fake. I think the drunk on yor butt, swaying is out of context and not really needed.

    I am pretty sure it can be removed, but I don't think it can be both. In otherwords I don't think he can act drunk one time, and then not another. One thought I had was to make him walk drunk when holding a dagger, which is what he holds when I meet him. He could then walk normal when carrying anything else. I know I usually get him a bigger weapon right quick. What do you think? I will see if my hunch about his walking is correct, and verify I can remove it.

    If removing doesn't work...

    ...try adding whatever property holiness has to one of his items to make it stop.

    Yes, I knew it but I don't like it because:
    1 - alone, it is too powerful, better than bastard sword and dwarven axe
    2 - there are no feats for it like weapon focus and improved critical, nor weapon specialization.

    It is considered a hand axe for feat purposes according to protos.tab

    Yup, WF and WS both work just fine for this weap. Granted it's strong, but that's why I like it. :)

    o YAH!!! Stompingly overpowered weapon, love it! Easily my fav, both for the satisfaction of killing Fruella (HOW I HATE HER!!!) and for its smacking value. I always use it. Indeed I learned to use protos.tab thingy just to return it to its awesome originality after CERTAIN modders (you know who you are...) brought it back to the pack. First time out, I gave it to my paladin... sincerely, that dude was just a butcher. Gimme that ol' time religion! Second time, gave it to a ranger with 2wf and a +3 hand-axe in the off-hand for memory.
    Also yup, but its keen so don't go improved critical. I made that mistake, and here I thought I'd memorised that rule book.
    And may God have mercy on your soul.
