[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 5517180, member: 8052"] Welcome to the boards and the game. To answer you question, the +1 longbow thing indicated that the weapon is a magic weapon (you'll notice that it is often italicized which is another indicator of a magic item). Therefore, when calculating the attack and damage bonuses, one must add 1 to both. Now since this comes from a stat block, the magic bonus is already added into the next part of the line : +8/+8. This indicates the attack bonus and since it is sperated by a slash, it means that the NPC can, in certain conditions (usually using a full-attack action during a round), attack twice per round both at +8. Next question, the rules for creating magic items are found in the Magic Item section of the Player's Guide. They can also be found in the PRD, a copy of which can be found [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items#TOC-Magic-Item-Creation"]here[/URL]. Can you buy magic weapons? The answer is it depends on the GM and the world he/she is using. The common practice is that yes magic items can be bought and sold.
