Werebane+1 has an enchantment level of 2, probably should be 1

[RoyalProtector]

Just what the title says. Personally I feel like it should be a +2 weapon, but that's besides the point.

Sword of Balduran does not have this inconsistency.

I'm not seeing this. I've checked BGEE, SoD, and BG2EE, and it's set as enchantment 1 on all games, with a conditional enchantment (4) vs. race: lycanthrope.

[RoyalProtector]

Oh, sorry. I have some mods installed but I didn't think any would change the enchantment level at all. Maybe a "wild" edit by Scales of Balance, it's the only mod that I have which changes weapon effects AFAIK...

No worries. I'd rather have a report of a bug that turns out to be fine than to discourage folks from posting. Keep 'em coming!

Sword of Balduran however does have such an inconsistency. It has a base +1 Enchantment, it should be 0.  The only enchantment should be vs. Lycanthropes.

If it were possible, it's [Magical, Silver, Cold-Iron] attributes should also ONLY apply vs. Lycanthropes.  It's not magical, just gold.

The description ( "This ornate but poorly balanced weapon was found within the wreck of Balduran's ship. Gold weapons are not known to be useful in combat..." ) implies it to be some manner of ceremonial weapon, only useful because it's made of gold ( "legends say that only weapons forged of gold can harm such dread creatures as the loup garou." ).

Is there any mechanical difference between enchantment zero and enchantment 1? Absolutely everything in the series that's vulnerable to +1 magical weapons is also vulnerable to +0 magical weapons.

But yeah, if Bala's Axe and various arrows can be +0 magic weapons, the (gold) Sword of Balduran should be too.

Mods can introduce such and YARAS looks at armor's Enchantment values anyway.

Yes - the "standardize weapon enchantments" component sets the enchantment level for purposes of what creatures can be harmed (but does not change mechanical thac0/damage effects) on all magical weaponry that has unique names/lore.

[RoyalProtector]

Huh... I didn't install that component...

Perhaps the SCS component which changes +1 weapons to "fine" weapons did something it shouldn't be doing. Not sure. I'd have to reinstall the game to check which one does it, but I'm not going to do that anytime soon.

You could just run 

weidu --log nul --change-log SW1Hxx.itm

(replacing “xx” with the .itm filename number)

Sorry but run it how?

It already has a proper 344 vs. lycans, so I've set enchantment to zero.
