Bala's Axe

Post by Horus »

Hi, I found this weapon a while ago in the planar sphere engine room and I have two questions about it. First of all I was wondering if it is in the standard game or comes from a mod. Secondly, is it any good? It seems powerfull but is only 1d8 with no to hit or damage bonuses so it might be hard to actually hit anything with it? Does it bypass PFMW because it is unenchanted?

I've never seen the Bala's Axe before so I'm inclined to think it's a mod weapon. Still it doesn't sound like a very good weapon anyway and there are plenty of good axes out there with good modifiers available.

Try the Copper Coronent and the De'arnise keep for a few of them.

Bala's Axe is an actually item from the Baldur's Gate expansion "Tales of the Sword Coast."

I don't know about finding it anywhere in BGII, but it is possible to bring that item into BGII.

Very nice anti-caster weapon.

I found it in the planar sphere, in the treasure trove guarded by all those golems in the engine room.

I tested it against PfMW..... Imoen: 'Gotta try something else'

My money is on that it's transferable from BG1, just like golden pantalons, horn of kazgaroth and a few other pieces of equipment. It would mean, however, that Horus had it when finishing BG1 and he doesn't seem to remember the weapon...

Well, Horus, did you import your game from a BG1 playthrough? It might've been hiding in your inventory - if not, it's a weapon from a mod, because it certainly isn't there in the vanilla game.

Bala's Axe is one of the restored items of the mod "Unfinished business".

Sorry for my very poor english.

And I would suspect you are right.

I started a thread called "life-stealer spoiler". There are even more items, then just Bala's axe added by the Unfinished Buisness mod. Crenshinibon was nice to explain what the other items were. Just check my thread.
