Sword, +5, Holy Avenger, is a holy sword.
In the hands of any character other than a paladin, i t will perform only as a +2 sword.

In the hands of a paladin, however, it creates a MR of 50% in a 5' radius,
dispels magic in a 5' radius at the level of magic use equal to the experience
level of the paladin, and inflicts +10 hit points of bonus damage
upon CE opponents.
(Cf. also AD&D, PH, CHARACTER CLASSES, The Paladin.)

ADQ: Does the +10 HP damage
that a Holy Avenger does vs. CE
include the +5 bonus of the sword?
ADA: YES.
