[QUOTE="Apok, post: 628245, member: 1969"] [b]Re: Re: What NON-OBVIOUS stuff would you like to see in Revised?[/b] Bad idea, and I'll tell you why. As it stands now, GMW is the only good way to get a decent supply of enchanted arrows. Without that spell, archers are basically useless once DR comes into play since only the enhancement bonus of the missile is considered. Changing it to one arrow/casting would basically make it useless. Gee, I've got [i] one [/i] +3 arrow, which means I get one good shot and then I'm outta the fight. If you make this change, then you will also have to have the enhancement bonus of the bow or crossbow count against DR and not just the ammo. Someone mentioned this already (mousferatu?) and said that the bonus should at least overlap (use the higher of the two) for DR penetration purposes. The double-stacking damage and attack bonuses are nice, but if enchanted arrows aren't necessary to penetrate DR then it becomes much less of an issue. Another possible solution would be to make enchanted arrows much cheaper to buy or at least sell them in packs of 100 rather than 50. Besides, 50 arrows is nothing. A good archer can eat through those in 10 rounds or less, so he'd better save that quiver of GMW'd arrows for the stuff with DR rather than using it against every goblin or gnoll on the road.
