[QUOTE="Xarlen, post: 201663, member: 1060"] I got another example for you. Let's look at the musket. Yes, No GUNPOWDER! I know this, but let's take the example of the bow a little further. If you're going to make a gunpowder weapon out of adamantite, what do you do? Make the Gun out of adamantite? No matter how strong the metal is, it isnt' going to do anything to the damage that it's projectile does. However, what happens if you make the BULLET out of adamantite? Because the bullet would be harder, denser, it would likely penetrate better, and thus go deeper, dealing more damage. It says that arrows dead 1d4 points of damage when used in melee. Is it hard to consider that maybe it does that same 1d4 damage when fired from a bow, BUT the bow adds more damage to it, depending on the bow's strenght? Shortbows make it a d6, longbows make it a d8. So, perhaps the longbow part offers a d4, and the arrow itself offers a d4, making it a d8. Yes, we don't roll 2d4, but I'm offering a possibility, not an exact science from the rules. [/QUOTE]
