[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1803194, member: 892"] Personally, I think that most demon lords would have a holy weapon. A negative level is a small price to pay to beat the DR of your back-stabbing "allies". Similarly, it seems logical for a Frost Giant to have a flaming weapon to settle internal disputes and become chief of the Frost Giants that much faster. Since good characters rarely have to worry about other paladins, solars, etc., trying to waste them if they show the slightest sign of weakness, there would be little incentive to wield an unholy weapon. Not to say it never happens, but it is far more likely that good folk will be fighting evil critters than good critters. Evil folk have to worry about good critters AND other evil critters, and evil vs. evil happens more often than good vs. good. All that said, I am a lazy DM, so magical weapons that my monsters use, unless stated otherwise in some module or the MM, will likely be the rather pedestrian no-frills +X weapon. Just like I usually choose Toughness multiple times for the feats of NPCs. [/QUOTE]
