[QUOTE="Valen, post: 336630, member: 4394"] One of the characters in my game is a Rog3/Sor2 who is pretty handy with a bow and is working towards becoming an arcane archer. The party consists of 5-6 players, each at 5th level, almost 6th. When designing the next adventure, I was looking through cool items to include and I came across the Bow of True Arrows in Sword and Fist by WotC. For those who do not have the book it is a +1 mighty composite bow that stores the spell true strike, granting the benefits of that spell to every arrow it fires. It is an unlimited use item and it only costs 4,000 gp. I checked the errata and there is no mention that the price is wrong. The thing is, the more I thought about this, this items seems far too powerful for the cost (doing a quick creation check, I came up with closer to 6,000 gp which still seems low to me given the power of the item). With this weapon, an archer is going to hit a target of AC 30, at least 50% of the time (and ignores the miss chance from concealment). At 5th and 6th level, there are few opponents with ACs above 23 or so. What this long winded explanation comes down to is: Is this weapon too powerful to give to a 6th level character? [/QUOTE]
