The left hand attacking is a bug. When you cast MMM and have something in the left hand, all of the weapon's damage and special effects are added to the MMMs. Yes, it's cheesy, but, so is the game.
Captian Cusinart does not begin to describe it. I had Celery Fury and Daystar when I attacked Firkraag. I thought I would just just go berserk and attack directly in a devil may care fashion. Normal difficulty. Went into offensive spin with Butterfingers, clicked the sword, clicked big red child stealing bastard, well, something awful happened.
Butterfingers got there first, being fastest while in offensive spin. First 3 attacks he did, all criticals. Third hit was around 90 damage, Big Red went the way of the dodo. It was over just like that. Jaheira did not even get an Ironskin up in time. Keldorn took one single chop with Lilarcor at the dragon's now dead corpse. It was, um, disapointing to say the least. I um, thought dragons should be a little tougher. Firkraag was a big red pansy.
Shadow Dragon I was a little more afraid of, took some time to prepare. Laid about 5 or 6 skull traps behind him, then, Butterfingers cast Spook. He said BOO! and the dragon turned tail and ran the opposite direction away from him, right into the skull trap nest. SPLAT. Dead dragon, over in seconds, no wing buffet, no death breath, once again, big disapointment.
The Black dragon in the Elven City at least put up something of a fight. He got in a wing buffet. And then he died. Butterfingers got in three good hits, one of them being critical, Keldorn wacked him with the Holy Avenger, and Minsc popped him a good one with the improved mace of disruption and the flail of ages. And it was over. All to quickly. Mostly, the party just follows along behind Butterfingers and cleans up anything left alive after the first round. The entire Drow city was gassed and then the dark elven taint was forever removed from that part of the underdark.
I should mention that a Blade with mirror image, stone skins, blurs, and tensor's tranformation, having over 300 hit points, etc, is pretty much Godlike in combat. Butterfingers can hit I think -22 AC in defensive spin. He can get criticals of over 100 damage. The Blade is grossly disturbing, high in lactose content, he slices, he dices, he makes french fries in 50 different shapes and sizes.
The Skald is even worse. I'll go into that later.
