The best early on depends on your preference. The hammer of strength does 1-19 damage. Slayer on the otherhand does 4-14 points but has the added advantage of having a 10% chance of a lethal blow. Personlly, I liked the dagger, Korghin's Fang, which does 7-13 but adds 4 dexterity points and 1 to armour class. Protector is not bad either as it does 5-17 and 4 pts. to defense dexterity and FIVE points to your armour class. Hope this helps. Blue Chip Dragon -==UDIC==- -- Jason Sprague jja...@mit.edu
