[QUOTE="Truename, post: 4604284, member: 78255"] A player in my game wants to play an archer ranger multiclassed with rogue. To make this easier, he'd like a Load Free ranged weapon that he can also use for Sneak Attack (so he can avoid the drop/draw/shoot/put away/pick up dance). He has a great character concept, so I want to let him do it, but I want to do it in a way that won't be unbalancing. Here's the weapon I came up with. It's basically a longbow, but it's a superior weapon, so it takes a feat (that could have been spent on a greatbow). Is this balanced--not too powerful, but also not too weak? [B]Skulker's Bow[/B] [I]A pulley system allows this small metal bow to pack the punch of a bow twice its size.[/I] Superior two-handed ranged weapon Cost: 30 gp Damage: 1d10 Proficient: +2 Range: 20/40 Weight: 3 lb. This small bow may be hidden under a cloak, but it has the power of a longbow. A rogue proficient with the skulker's bow can treat it as a crossbow for the purpose of the Sneak Attack class feature.
