I have a build in mind that has some Monk levels uses a 2-handed weapon...but I'm curious if there are any off-hand items (other than shields) that offer useful / interesting abilities or bonuses to a melee-type? I played on a heavily-modified action server that had lanterns with sneak attack, or various immunities. I'm not looking for spoilers...but is there anything like that here that would justify going from Greatsword to Bastard Sword + an off-hand item?

Not that I know of, no.
Too bad NWN1 doesn't support using bastards swords 2h when no shield in work, like NWN2 does.

Thanks; I assumed that was the case. I wonder if something like that would be craftable? Maybe require some DC's? Either way...back to the greatsword for me.

Sounds like an awesome idea for a DC request item, actually. I wonder if the DM:s would approve.

Necky recently added a few new merchants that sell such stuff. But they are just visual toys, no function, certainly not as weapons.

Yeah, I wasn't looking for something that could double as a weapon. I was thinking something along the lines of a lantern item-type with a different graphic (steel fan, walking stick, etc) that had something like damage reduction (5- slashing / blunt, maybe 5- various elemental), or freedom, some type of effect immunity (knockdown, death magic)...something along those lines. I'm perfectly content to stick to the 2-handed weapon. Thanks for the responses.

Not sure, but I would go with no.
As for my personal thoughts on putting abilities on those handhells. Lets not go crazy with it. Holding a lanter and suddenly getting such immunities to death magic or other quite powerful stuff seems a bit silly.
I wouldn't mind seeing a lanter though that self destructs if you beat someone with it, thusly spilling oil over the person and causing a low level combust spell. That kind of thing would be fun.

i think there are many magical items in dnd and if you make a request the dms might just approve a lantern that protects vs sneaks or something. the only issue would be balance but idk how they do that so i cant say.
