Because of a Baldur's Gate 3 weapon's deceptive description, it took me nearly two years to realize it's a sleeper beast⁠—and I'm kicking myself because it works the exact same way in Baldur's Gate 2

While perusing the sickos-only BG3Builds subreddit, I learned something that shocked me thanks to the helpful comment of user Arx_724, a bit of knowledge that's been out there in the ether, but was never apparent to this obsessive BG3 power gamer.

The Belm scimitar, obtainable in Act Three, isn't just a fun callback to Baldur's Gate 2, it's extremely powerful in the exact same way as the original, despite what its description indicates.

The OG Belm is a power gamer legend in Baldur's Gate 2, a staple in many builds.
