[QUOTE="Radaceus, post: 7625462, member: 6796086"] Basically, you are talking about an Oathbow, with the wielder's sworn enemy being a dragon. An Oathbow is very rare and has a lot more to offer than the rare Dragon Slayer sword. I'd compromise between the two, tweak down an Oathbow to become a Bow of Dragon Slaying ( or even of Chromatic Dragon Slaying??) Side by side comparison: Dragon Slayer, +1 magic weapon ( sword), which deals an extra 3d6 to any creature with the dragon type tag Oathbow, +0 magic weapon, speak the command and declare a sworn enemy, until it dies you gain advantage on attacks, the target gains no benefit from cover, and you suffer no disadvantage from long range (your ranger already has these last two benefits from sharpshooter). Deals an extra 3d6 damage to the sworn enemy. ----- Some idea suggestions Dragon Slayer Bow: [LIST] [*]+1 Magic Weapon, deals an extra 3d6 damage to X type of dragons. [*]+0 Magic Weapon, has advantage on attacks against X type of dragons, deals an extra 3d6 damage to X type of dragons. [*]+0 magic weapon, deals an extra 3d6 damage to X type of dragons, when an X type of dragon is damaged by this weapon they have disadvantage on saving throws until the next turn (This one is probably the most powerful option against your BBEG endgame...). [*]similar to any of the above but deals less damage and affects all types of dragons [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
