My party has exited the Underdark and defeated most SoA enemies, with the Ranger stronghold stuff, Orcus and the Twisted Rune up next.
I did not forge Phosphorus in Chapter 3, and am wondering whether it would still be worth it. If I do forge it, it would replace FoA+4 as my Vagrant protagonist's off-hand weapon (main hand is The Truth); however, no one else in the party needs FoA. Is the Strength bonus worth the investment at this stage? Also, while I have yet to defeat Orcus, I'm thinking that improving Anomen's shield maybe more worthwhile than creating Hesperus. After all, and if I remember correctly, there are only two difficult battles involving the Undead after Orcus; on the other hand, Anomen could use Supreme Shelter. Noe that Phosphorus would be used by the protagonist, or possibly Valygar, but that both are well-equipped as it is. So, what are your opinions? Hesperus and Phosphorus - yay or nay? |

I would have expected it to be called the Evening Star.
[/off-topic] I like Phosphorous since it doesn't only do good damage by itself, but also increases strength to aid in thac0 and damage. Strength bonus from gear is always nice to have rather than dispellable potions. Hesperous I never forged before, but it looks good on paper.
