If you find a quiver full of magical arrows, and you fire all of them, then you'll hit one more time than you would have if you'd fired a full quiver of non-magical arrows.Damage-wise, the only HP that matters is the last one. If you don't take the enemy down to exactly zero HP, then your +1 to damage was wasted because it ends up taking the same number of hits either way. So, with a long bow, the extra single point of damage doesn't matter 87.5% of the time.Small bonuses only matter in the aggregate, when you have large quantities of them. The +1 arrow is an insult to anyone who knows math... unless you're using it to hurt a creature who is immune to non-magical weapons, in which case it might be justified.</blockquote>
