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.
