[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 199588, member: 2268"] [b]Hmmm...[/b] ..before this thread drowns in bickering, I´d like to add my 2 cents... First off, I´d actually allow the arrows to carry the enhancement bonus the adamantine heads would give them, but...related to the bow they´re fired from. Why? Because the force that causes the damage comes from the bow the arrow is shot from, not the arrow itself. But essentially, the tool that causes the force to damage someone is the arrowhead, so if it´s enhanced, it gets the enhancement bonus. Second, I wouldn´t taking the words in the DMG too literally. "Weapons fashioned from adamantine..." doesn´t necessarily mean the [i]whole[/i] weapon is fashioned from adamantine...it sounds rather that the steel parts are replaced with adamantine, nothing else. Third...hong...even on the risk of incurring your acidic tongue and draw it´s attention on me...your nitpicking skills are undoubtedly maxed out, but...you and I know ConcreteBuddha was talking about the wooden parts in ranged weapons that are strung by hand, like longbows or shortbows, no other wooden parts. And you have to admit that, if one were to replace the wood in a bow with adamantine...it´d be a bit useless for the "normal" character, huh? Tried to string up a bow that was mainly made of high-quality steel? I haven´t..but I can´t imagine I could either. ;) [/QUOTE]
