I'm not an expert on 2nd edition ad&d rules so this may be nothing.

It's Tiax, that chaotic little bugger.

lvl-6 Cleric, lvl-7 Thief
* in Quarterstafs
Gauntlets: Legacy of the Masters; +1 thac0, +2 damage
Weapon: Staff Spear +2
Belt: Big-Fisted Belt; 19 strenght, 6 intelligence

And he gets 14-21 damage output!

    Oh, yea. He gets +7 strenght bonus on damage, so it really doesn't matter what weapon I put on him. Surely 19 strength will not give you +7 bonus?

    It could be something wrong with that belt. I got it in Rashaad questline. It's cursed so I can't get it off at the moment and try it on someone else.

    On other hand, Tiax is proving highly useful in Durlags Dungeon. :D

    Actually, 19 strength is the cause of that +7 damage modifier. That's the correct value. Strength scales absurdly well at 19+, which is part of the reason why Dorn is such an effective NPC. Your damage output range seems correct.

    You're probably better off handing that belt over to someone else. As badass as it sounds to have Tiax chunking people in melee, he's limited to a single attack per round, so I doubt he's the best recipient. Unless you're building him as a backstabber, in which case go for it.

    There's still a problem.
    Staff spear deals 1d8+3 damage i believe
    +2 from gloves
    +7 from strength

    Thats's 13-20.

    Are you sure tiax doesn't have a star in two handed weapon style ?
    Otherwise he s doing too much damage ^^

    Jaheira gets the correct 13-20 for me.
    Tiax has a pip in two-handed weapon style. (maybe that should be listed too)
