When wielded, it is 1d8 with a +3,+3. I found these figures on an aging piece of printout paper, and my experience seems to bear it out, although I won't vouch for their accuracy. You might want to give it a try, though. Oh well, enought rambling... Alan J. Hu ...ucbvax!sdcsvax!ajh (or something like that...)
