[S&F and ELH] Bow Enchantments?

[Arcturus_Rugend]

The "Unnerring Accuracy" property from the ELH can be added to a bow (effectively making it an epic weapon and ridiculously expensive) for a +6 enhancement price adjustment. This enchantment seems nearly identical to the "Seeking" property from S&F that can be added to a bow for only a +1 price adjustment.

Am I missing something major in the wording? What's the deal?

Seeking doesn't help against cover, only concealment. Unerring Accuracy helps against both. Do I think its worth +6? Not by a long shot.

 

[Arcturus_Rugend]

Thanks. I missed the differentiation in terms of negating cover. For some reason I had it in my head at the time that it gave a miss chance, not an AC bonus.

I'd have to agree with you about the +6 bonus, as well. The difference in price between a +1 Bow of Seeking and a +1 Bow of Unerring Accuracy is 972,000 gp. I can think of a few better ways to spend the money.

Oh, its not the only thing priced funky. Take a look at the Backstabber. Apparently +2d6 sneak attack damage (but you must have the ability to make sneak attacks) is worth 50K. My foot, it is.

It would be worth the +6 if your DM was insane and threw enemies that had cover bonus' to their AC all the time

Otherwise, its not

 

[kreynolds]

Yeah, Fiery Blast totally rocks in Ice World, but other than that...

Nah. Triple throw rocks.

Hmmm...


"Unerring Accuracy " + Epic Arcane Archer. Very, very nasty.

I assume that 100% cover is still effective?
