Yeah 'Scimitar +5, Defender' is for Good-aligned only, it's actually a +3 Scimitar and gives you a +2 AC bonus. Best weapon in the game, the only weapon even close to it is Xan's Moonblade.
@AdventSign If you're a Good Paladin Kit...I would say Two Handed Swords is a must for Carsomyr when BG2 comes out. I would also recommend Bastard Swords because of the Purifier in BG2. Longswords are probably a great bet for an alternate one-hander since there are several in BG2 that work early game (DAYSTAR IS THE STUFF! AND THERE'S A SWORD THAT REALLY HURTS DRAGONS....). I just made a Blackguard so I went with Two Slots in Bastard Swords and Longswords because I know there are great Bastard Swords that work well for tanking specific monsters that will come up in BG1 and there is a +2 Longsword with additional damage early on if you know where to look that can be a mainstay for most of the game. I normally go for a +2 Hammer in BG1...but than again I almost never play Paladins (Too goody-goody for me...so...an evil Pally it is)
I would go with two-handers eventually but I don't think Blackgaurd's will get to use Carsomyr or the Purifier....so we'll see what he's using by BG2...I still may use hammers and dual wield.
