Colossal Onslaught, where your weapon doesn't just hit what's in front of you, or sweep in an arc (like Cleave), but actually slams everybody in a line.

If somebody wrote a mod to let me give weapon properties like that to any weapon with a crafting system (a la weapon oils), I would love it.

My favorite weapon for Karlach is something called the Dragon Katana, which has 'inherent' abilities of Hellflame Cleave, Tiger's Bloodlust, and Fangs of the Fire Snake (though the latter seems to have some animation isues). Plus inherent bonus fire damage, natch. Now if I could take those special attack properties and put them on a battle axe... (NOT a greataxe or halberd so it could be used 1H).

I found this mod over at Nexus called Dawnbringer's Might. It doesn't just upgrade Blood of Lathander (which 20 other mods also do) it comes with some other Lathander themed weapons and gear. Particularly cool, the sword comes with weapon properties of Dawnburst Strike, Profane Scourge, and Colossal Onslaught. BUT, the dang thing is bugged in some weird way (and I don't think is a new post Patch 7 problem after reading its forums), as some of those properties strangely "leak" on to other ingame weapons - like the Sword of the Emperor? Weird.
