How 'mighty' acomposite bow can be made depends primarily upon the size of the weapon, as that determines the rigidity and strength of the limbs of the bow. More potent bows also need stronger bowstrings to handle the extra stresses placed upon them.Fine +0 maxTiny +1 maxSmall +2 maxMedium +4 maxLarge +8 maxHuge +14 maxGargantuan +22 maxColossal +32 maxThe cost of a standard mighty composite bow is increased by 100% for each +1 it has.For example, a Medium Composite LongBow (composite longbow in the core rules) has a list price of 100 gp, therefore a Mighty (+3) Huge Composite Bow has a list price of 400 gp (100 gp increased by 300%). (A shortbow is treated as a bow of one size category smaller on these tables).Mightier BowsThrough the use of special materials (more metals, high-tensile alloys, the bones and intestines of magical beasts, etc), bows can be made more powerful than listed above. The mighty rating of a composite bow can be increased by 50% of the listed max (or at least by an additional +1 for bows with a maximum mighty rating of +1 or less). This requires a bow with a base price that is double that of a normal composite bow of that type to account for the expensive materials included in the construction of the weapon. Then the cost of making the bow mighty is calculated from the new base priceof the bow.</blockquote>
