[QUOTE="cjosephs1s, post: 5706750, member: 6683450"] I guess since I posted the weapon I should clarify how it works. It works on a spell trigger just like a wand and you must shoot an arrow for the spell to work. So you cannot "cast the spell this round then do nothing let the spell expire and then shoot an arrow at +20 next round" as you describe doing. Even the spell true strike doesn't work like that. Esentially the "spell trigger" could be interpreted from the text as shooting the arrow so it would function anytime an arrow is shot. Granted the trade of to hitting every time was low damage 1d8+1 but with new classes and revised sneak attack rules, yes this weapon has become insanely cheap for what you get. So at the time it probably wasn't overpowered as this small amount of damage everyround would not make or break an encounter but with todays 3.5 classes and rules it can guarentee insane amounts of damage. Keep in mind it is not in the MIC which is 3.5 and this may be the reason (of course the MIC doens't list everything either). So you may want to consult your DM on this item. [/QUOTE]
