A katana +2 is an enchanted and magical variation of the katana. Compared to that weapon, it deals more damage at an improved THAC0, weighs less and is even faster than its non-enchanted base version – each by a value of two. Katanas +2 are obtainable in The Black Pits, Baldur's Gate II and The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay.
| “ | To enchant a katana is no simple process. Unlike conventional weapons, the katana is already a near-perfect fighting sword. To improve it usually requires a sacrifice, perhaps a dying samurai might beg a Wu Jen to infuse his fighting spirit into the spirit of the katana. The wielder of an enchanted katana, such as this one, must respect the customs of Kara-Tur and of the samurai who once carried this blade into battle. Not doing so could drastically change one's luck for the worse. | ” |
