Two weapons that I can think of in unmodded bg2 have ticked me off since I first played the game through. Last I checked, the runehammer is plucked off the corpse of a certain GIANT!!! And then the Protagonist is able to wield it 1 handed?!
I'm pretty sure Its gonna take 2 hands for that thing. Joril's Dagger, after all, is a two handed sword. Is it possible to alter the rune hammer to require two hands?? To keep the weapon balanced I would suggest it do either 1d10 or 2d6 damage and have the upgraded enchantment bumped to +6. I would suggest something similar for Frostreaver also, as it's item description states it was the preferred weapon of a frost giant. 1d10 damage and a smidgen more acid and cold damage or a slowing effect would leave the weapon pretty well balanced. Considering how early this weapon is attained, I think bumping it's enchantment would unbalance it a bit. Any takers? I'm probably gonna end up doing this myself but have no idea what I'm doing or where to start.

Runehammers obtained early? You can get as powerful weapons as you are going to find before this.
