Originally I thought those guys were full of it when I saw the "I have a PHB" post over a week ago. I never came back to look at the posts until Sunday, and my oh my was I in for a long long read.

Anyways, thanks for the info. You made me subscribe just to ask a question and post my thanks, triple time. :D

Wow. I've seen quite a lot double posts in the last couple of minutes, and IIRC that is the first triple post I've seen so far! Lots of people doctoring up their post counts today. :D

What was that? Ah!



111) Have bucklers and/or small shields changed in any way?


And on a related topic:
Does anybody know what becomes of the Forgotten Realms books? Will they get an update manual or is that included in the FRPG?
 

112) Can a medium character of sufficient strength use a Huge-sized nonmagical mighty (+8) composite bow? (Or more generally, what are the limitations on size and "mightiness" when is comes to composite bows?)
 


113) Is there any monster descriptions/stats in the back of the book like there was with the original 3.0 PHB?

114) Is there a Mass Haste spell in the book, and if so, what does it do? Is there any other "improved" version of the 3rd level Haste spell?

115) What is the domain ability of the Cleric's Healing domain?

I would say no. A longbow is very large as is. huge, and the character has to be the size of an ogre, no matter what his strength is or how many feats he has. It's just like that human who thinks he can use a fullblade in one hand just because he's got the strength and feats for it.
 

and yet...

Well, the SRD says that a character has to be medium size to use a (large) composite longbow while mounted, implying that a character has to be large size to use a huge composite bow while mounted. But the description of the longbow implies that a medium or small-sized character can use the (large) composite longbow when unmounted. Otherwise, why bother making the distinction "when mounted"?
So that might indicate that a medium or large character can use a huge composite bow when unmounted.

From the SRD:

Longbow, Composite: A character needs at least two hands to use a bow, regardless of the size of the bow. A character must be at least Medium-size to use this bow while mounted.
