Im going on a search and destroy mission - leaving nothing living(npc or not) just for a bit of xp.. I have once again come into possession of the Kraokendon from King Freyedies. I have tryed to equip it onto my assassin, but it always ends up unequipped and I can't figure out why.. Is it his role?

I think that may be the reason, Eagle Eye. I don't have it written down in my notes but maybe Assassins can't use a mace or that mace.

Other possibility: - that's a two handed weapon is it not?? Are both spaces cleared??

And vaguely I seem to remember there being a certain level of strength required or some such restriction. Really don't recall that many people mentioning using that particular weapon.

You have to place it in the same place as you would a bow or a shield. Does it allow you to do this?

If it allows you to equip it but after using it in battle the item is un-equiped then it is another problem. In my testing I seem to remember that Kraokendon is thrown when you attack and when it returns to you it is placed in your inventory but not back in the "equiped" slot. Is this the problem? I never found a solution to that. You have to re-equip it before every attack.

Cheers that must be it.. :D
