[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 5991697, member: 6678119"] The MiC specifically lets you upgrade named/unique weapons, because not being able to upgrade them is just plain stupid. Go to town with that energy bow. The Elvencraft modification from Races of the Wild lets you use a shortbow as a club, or a longbow as a quarterstaff. It's 300gp so it won't work at first level, but it's good for stuff later on and it's official material, unlike most of the stuff at dandwiki. The reason most guides don't have the long blade bow is because it is homebrew, and the Elvencraft modification exists that entirely nullifies the exotic weapon in the first place. Dragon Magazine 310 has the Targetteer fighter variant, which can get Dex to damage on all ranged attacks, a version of Rapid Shot that trades -5 to all attacks for an extra 2 attacks, and gets two exotic ranged weapon proficiencies for free at first level. See if your friend can retrain into that class. The [url=http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Dead_Eye]Dead Eye[/url] feat also grants Dex to damage, and if your friend is so inclined to use crossbows, [url=http://dndtools.eu/feats/players-handbook-ii--80/crossbow-sniper--488/]Crossbow Sniper[/url] adds another 1/2 dex to damage. The only issue will be crit immunes, but weapon crystals can solve some of the problems with those. [/QUOTE]
