Message: <blockquote data-quote="Primitive Screwhead" data-source="post: 3538543" data-attributes="member: 20805">A couple simple methods:1- Legacy weapon requires investment by the new owner to unlock its kewlness... the BBEG had invested enough to get the unlimited shadow arrows going. Each 'level' unlocked adds +1 shadow arrow per day or some related ability. Cost to unlock generally involes some ritual and costs in gp/xp2- Have the weapon draw upon the soul of the weilder, something like using a Will save DC = 10 + number of arrows fired since last sunrise.. either slipping his alignment or reducing his CHR   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  3- As an evil weapon any Paladin/Good Cleric could received a boon from thier diety after destroying it  {sorta like downgrading to a more appropriate weapon but with some RP elements}4- When was the encounter? During a full moon you said?... unlimited use during the night of the full moon, 3x a day otherwize..5- Use the old 'drow weapon' sillyness, you need to keep the bow out of sunlight and/or protected by a specific alchemical oil. Each exposure to sunlight reduces the x-per day by one.. down from the 20 or so its at right now.6- Next encounter = Improved Sunder!!!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  {not really a good suggestion.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> }This is a powerful weapon for a group of 4th level characters, but not horribly so. There are alot of ways to gimp ranged weapons that are not full blown nerf-bat solutions. I would say just run with it, and make sure to let the players know they are over their recommended daily allowance of loot, so the next couple adventures might be a bit loot-low to make it easier for you to run good challenges.</blockquote>
