Hell's Bane Unsuitable for Sneak Attack

[sirnicklaus]

The sword is registering as unsuitable for sneak attacks despite being a large sword.

The ability to use a weapon for backstab or sneak attack is tied in the engine to whether a weapon is usable by single-class thieves. This item was not altered by the Fixpack because the description and item agree that it's unusable by thieves.

However, it's the only broad sword where this is the case. The four other broad swords in the game--Blade of Bael, Cynicism, Erevain's Broad Sword, and Dead God's Dreaming--are all usable by thieves (and mage-thieves). I'm leaning to this being a usability bug that needs to be fixed.

Bug, or bad-but-clearly-evidenced developer intent? I guess it’s a blurry boundary.
