[The Leveler]

Flame Tongue +1

There was a time before Neverwinter was warm and before the great Anauroch was dry...or so it is said. Few relics remain to prove such an age existed, and fewer still have an identifiable purpose. "The Burning Earth" seems straightforward enough -it burns a victim with magical fire, and a cryptic rune seems to suggest that the power comes from the ground itself- but whomever constructed it remains a mystery. It looks a perfectly serviceable weapon, but something in the balance or grip is...wrong. It strains the forearm a touch, and does not fit the hand just right. It doesn't seem to hurt a warrior's performance, aside from the nagging doubt that the blade was not made for him...or any other humanoid.

I think this wepon could have an upgrade. It could have been put into After the End, gettng upgraded in Aunauroch. This could have a whole quest written for it. An ancient, powerful race, ect. Anyone interested?

I dunno. That seems a bit weak for an item found after the end of ToB.

The description is that of the original Flametongue, not the proposed upgrade.

Someone make it do fire damage. Please. Come to think of it, maybe I should.

There is a *very* old Beige Tangerine tweak that does just that.

Check the link near the bottom on the left.

It isn't from ToB. You find it in SoA going to the druid grove.

Just to make sure (i know this has been asked lots of times before ):

It's not possible to get the cool flametongue animation from BG1 working in the BG2 engine is it?

[Efreet]

I don't know, but it would be cool.

I have not played "After the End" yet, but I think the Flametongue upgrade idea is OK. But what will it take to upgrade it? Wake up some ancient being from his eternal slumber and have him change the batteries ?

By the way, someone could make an upgrade for the blackrazor. (perhaps with Malla's soulstone) . We have to take the path of evil just to get it and soon after we start meeting bosses who are immune to +3 weapons.
