Favorite Weapon, type, specific, and why? Options

[Awake]

What is your favorite type of weapon? What is your favorite weapon in that category? And, why do you like this weapon? Please try to include an item description. If you don't know what it is, go to this page.

My favorite type is the long sword. I like the Blade of Roses, which can be bought off of Bernard in the Copper Coronet at some point in the game. I like this weapon mainly because of the description, but also because it is a powerful weapon to be wielded by a swashbuckler. Normally when I play the game I play as a swashbuckler and wield that and the Flame Tongue. But once I get the Equalizer I use that. At that point there is no stopping me. The weapon is very cool, and I like the bam a lot, too.

This blade possesses an unearthly splendor, and it is likely that Sune, the
goddess of beauty and passion, had a hand in its creation. The effect it has
on the wielder is immediate, and more than once in its history has this sword
has been the secret behind a lackluster soldier's sudden elevation at court.

Obvieusly the best weapon in game is katana. Heh D10 for damage, plus small speed factor with long range - hmmm it simply rules the world. Although for few mods I have played the two most interesting one are: Kuriosan's Acid Katana (but unfortunately just +4) and Celestial Fury (but AFTER item upgrade form Weimer (nice +5 factor). Hindo's Doom (I guess this is best translation from polish) is just +4 and don't provide anything special, thus just 10% magic resistance and immunity to negative energy (other items are more complex especially in mods). Second good weapons are staffs, improved taran staff, staff of magi, or sweet Demon's staff from SoS... Very interestiong combo contains the elvish staff of powerful strike (heh again translation seem to be odd) that with good set of itmes and skills can make REALLY big damage, some screen that I saw showe over 1046 - that is unnatutal... Oh and last thing, Cernd is certainly a strong NPC in SOA and even in TOB, despite his class he CAN ear armor (the leather armor of shadow dragon:)) - that with guntles of dexterity, staff of woodlands and other items combined with his high wisdom can make really useful offensive druid. for 6 members team.
