Jackinthegreen Composite Bows allow users with high strength to add damage to their arrows. Different amounts of bonus strength can be applied depending on the amount of money you throw into the creation of the bow. Bonebows function as a composite bow with regard to applying the user's Strength...

A few notes on the Bonebow: After some cursory Google-fu, I've noticed that everyone who mentions it (with exception only to this thread) agrees that it adjusts to it's user's strength score. It's syntax; "functions as a composite longbow with regard to applying the user's Strength bonus to...

Jackinthegreen If you are already an Outsider, you can polymorph freely into other Outsiders, such as Arrow Demons.

Nezkrul You use Full Attack (granting Rapid Shot and Haste), and use Many Shot as your hasted action. I apologize, in my previous example I was using a recent homebrew I played. You'll pick up 9 attacks total (18 total arrows) so long as your DM doesn't argue that attacks and standard actions...

Alarikun You could, as a suggestion, give Dismissal it's 20% chance to dismiss a polymorphed creature to a random plane, but not allow it the 80% chance to dismiss to their native plane.

Greenfield Could you provide the link? I linked the Special Abilities definition of 3.5 Polymorph from the SRD, and it did not contain the text that you quoted. The 3.0 Polymorph on D&D Wiki has the text that you quoted, but the SRD did not.

kingius You use Volley for such an occasion.

I've never liked "If A does it, then Z will do it and it will be even" logic. It doesn't really suggest to the player that the enemies will always be even, it just says that you're lazy and don't want them to be too powerful. Better to "If A does B, then Z will do Y". This allows you to...

Seems like it. At Monk 20, he could bring along 3 medium sized gentlemen. Good catch.

No mention of Type changes, Bane, Slaying, etc. Polymorph :: d20srd.org Special Abilities :: d20srd.org I can't find your version of Polymorph on the SRD. What'd you look under? Okay. Just found it on D&D Wiki. It looks like the 3.0 version of Polymorph is still on D&D Wiki.

Nail on the head. Since he is already an Outsider, he can Polymorph into other Outsiders, which can be Dismissed with the spell back to the native plane of the new Outsider type.

Omegaxicor No rules state that you can't add enchantments to an Energy Bow. While it may only be a +2 Comp. Longbow, it accommodates any strength score and fires force arrows at 2d6 damage, so we know it is a large longbow. The arrows are force effects, which has a few benefits as well such as...

Power Shot is strictly better than Deadly Aim. Deadly Aim gives you +2 damage for -1 Hit, and (at BAB 20) a maximum of +10 damage and -5 hit. Power Shot can use any number, up to your maximum BAB, in exchange for damage. Honestly, you go Peerless Archer for Power Shot. If your DM doesn't...

Omegaxicor Peerless Archer is in Silver Marches. It is available here Peerless Archer 3.5 in D&D Homebrew Forum in it's entirety. You need Far Shot for Peerless Archer, which is among the best archer PrC in all of 3.5. You don't need Deadly Aim if you have Peerless Archer (level 3). Remember...

You definitely need to fold Ranged Weapon Mastery into your feat list, definitely pick up Woodland Archer (Races of the Wild) and Deadly Aim (if you allow Pathfinder stuff and are not planning on going Peerless Archer or getting an Energy Bow). You'll want Imp. Crit as well. I'd pull out Imp...

Jimlock My last archer build had two feats to spare by lv20, including throwing in Greatbow prof. It's important to note that the composite feature isn't alien to other types of bows, so my DM let me smack composite a Huge Greatbow. Until you can get an Energy Bow, Greatbows really are the...

Omegaxicor I never understood the desire to have a melee weapon tied into your bow. If you need to threaten nearby squares or make attacks of opportunity, you just put your bow into your Quiver of Elhonna and pull out your sword. It's a free action (as part of a move) after level 2 for all...

Jimlock I disagree with your statement. Having a big Greatbow can considerably increase your base damage and range increment, which could end up being a boon to consider worthy of a feat. Omegaxicor The real penalty to wearing Full Plate is the movement speed decrease. As an Archer, you need to...

Think about it for a little longer. When intellectual thought in Europe began eclipsing the Middle East, it was during the first few Crusades. Looting in the Middle East brought wealth and trade to Europe by way of Constantinople and Rome. Once again, intelligence and innovation follow fortune...

As has been historically proven, the wealth of intelligence follows resources and trade. This is the primary reason for European dominance through the ages, and is very clearly evident in all of the major historical periods. What you're arguing is that intelligence is a dynamic average...
