SPECTRAL BRAND, BG2


Spectral Brand Baldur's Gate 2


Makes EVERY weapon more accurate

Spectral Brand is a BG2 best weapon in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2. Spectral Brand is a solid back-up backstabbing weapon, and the NPP is nice, but the summon is all but useless. However, the 10-point THAC0 bonus granted by the Armor Piercing special ability is erroneously applied to base THAC0, meaning that it impacts the accuracy of any equipped weapon.
