[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 199908, member: 2268"] [b]Sooo...[/b] ...if it´s just about quoting the rulebooks here, let me quote something to y´all, straight from the introduction in the DMG "Let´s start with the biggest secret of all: the key to Dungeon Mastering. (Don´t tell anybody, okay?) The secret is that you´re in charge. This is [b]not[/b] the tell-everyone-what-to-do sort of in charge. Rather, you get to decide how [b]your player group[/b] is going to play this game, when and where the adventures take place and what happens. [b]You get to decide how the rules work, which rules to use, and how strictly to adhere to them. [i]That[/i] kind of in charge."[/b] So it´s pretty easy, ConcreteBuddha...talk to your DM, try to convince him that it´s bull that a weapon gains the enhancement bonus when it´s wielded by hand (arrow as melee weapon) but not when it´s flung by a bow or crossbow (arrow/bolt as ranged weapon). Try to make him see that an axe or a dagger, thrown, are not so different from an arrow shot, and argue that the force that propels the arrow still is dependant on your characters strength, as it differs with how hard you pull that bowstring. For everything else..this is clearly a Rule 0 question...and shouldn´t be fought about. :) PS: An adamantine weapon that causes 1d8 points of damage and gets the enhancement bonus costs +9000 gp. As every arrow has to be considered a single weapon for calculating that (as each arrow causes 1d8 points of damage), each adamantine arrow that is to get a +2 bonus costs +9000 gp. Think about that...game balanced enough for y´all? ;) [/QUOTE]
