(So a Composit Short Bow Str +7 is perfectly legal)

Be careful about 3.5 weapon rules... RA likes 3.0. (Some of which I agree with. )

Hey, Rystil, on a side note, you mention the strength limitations on the two warbows, but I didn't notice a price per point of strength, and in 3.5, there are no limits to the strength of a bow (So a Composit Short Bow Str +7 is perfectly legal)

Its usually 300 per point of strength, I believe. Warbows go up to +6 Strength, so there should be little problem with running out of strength bonus possibilities for your Aura

Edit: Aha! Unleashed has the correct numbers--200 per point of Strength bonus and +5 max Strength bonus.

Ahh, so you do impose limits on weapons. I was thinking that was kind of expensive, but looking back at the other bows, each strength bonus increases the price by the initial cost of the bow, so that's not unreasonable.

You're right, no problem with my Auran. Especialy since she's only using a long bow.

Rare outside of Praetorianus; they are quite large. A masterwork warbow costs 500 GP + 200 per point of Str bonus if its Mighty, with a maximum of +5. Praetorians have their own superior material version for their use only, which costs 10 times as much and has a +6 Strength maximum for a mighty bow, but unlike the basic version they don't sell these to anyone and they hunt down people who buy them on the black market.

I believe the warbow was triple price in Eldiz (I think that was the price Rystil charged the Arcanist/Marksman in DT).

Honestly, I don't know why I bother making a compilation document!

Aha! There's the right numbers! I would have found them eventually if I actually went to check

Doh, I read your document, but that was yesterday.

So I take it the limits are a house rule/holdover from 3.0? In 3.5 they are specificly not there (So a Giant can have a giant Longbow of +10 or whatever)

They are indeed a 3.0 holdover/houserule, which I tend to do quite a bit when it comes to weapons (see my Keen and Improved Critical stack Houserule holdover ). However, those are only the limits on size Medium weapons. The Size Large weapons have a higher threshold (+8 for a Size Large Longbow, and up to +10 for a Size Large Super-Warbow).

 

[Bront]

Ahh, so if I want to go full bore, I need to supersize it. (Does the Praetorian McDonalds sell weapons?)

Heehee, well the Praetorians only sell their second-to-best bows, saving the best ones for themselves Incidentally, even with a Longbow, a Size Huge Giant could have a Strength Bonus of up to +12 Mighty put on it if he wanted under my system--it'd be really expensive though!

I don't have any problem with the Improved Critical/Keen holdover as I use it myself, I also use the power attack houserule you list (even before your first post on the subject).
