*SPOILER* Magical Katanas?

Has anyone found a magical katana in the game? I've been up and down the Sword Coast. So far all I have is my mundane candlekeep katana which is gathering dust because I've got plenty of 2+ weapons to spare. Any clue to help me get my slice on again would be appreciated!

    Unless they were added to loot in various areas in the EE, I will have to say that you might be out of luck. Katanas, Wakizashis, Ninjatos, and Tantos were weapons that were not at all in the original, unmodified Baldur's Gate (And thus they were not available for proficiency allocation either). They were only in BGII, of which the EE uses the same system for.

    In Baldur's Gate Tutu, a mod that lets you play the first game with the sequels engine, I think it was the same issue. I don't know if they added magical 'exotic' weapons in that either. While yes the normal versions can be found in shops, that much is obvious, the issue, of course, is +1 and beyond.

    So, yeah, I think you might have wasted some proficiency points, unfortunately. I could very well be corrected by those who are farther into this version of the game than I am, though.

    You get a +1 in Daveorn's lair if I remember correctly.

    I've checked through the console and from what I can tell this is the only one you get in the game.

    Thanks! I guess I'll just waltz on in there!

    From what I can tell through analyzing the game's files, there are no +2 Katanas in the Baldur's Gate campaign, though they are available in the Black Pits from a merchant. The item code is SW1H55 if you want to create one.

    There's also the "Tsu-O-Shi" Katana +2, code "cdkat2" with a 5% chance each of permanently lowering one of your ability scores by 1 or your max hp by 5 each time you hit, as somebody once said.

    If you feel cheesy spawning one, drop a +2 weapon (don't sell it) and then spawn it. Makes you feel like its a trade ;)
