I am actually not sure, if cast at 20th level it gives 10/+5 and stops up to 100 points of damage, would the stacked bonuses for the bow and arrow go over the +5? That seems to be what looks like the big problem here, if you stack your +5 arrows with your +5 bow you effectively get a +10 weapon. I am not sure of this as we have never played this way or been in this type of over the top situation, we play that the to hit bonus is from the bow and the damage bonus is from the arrow. Maybe that's why we don't have the same crazy archer problems, we didn't house rule it we apparently just read it wrong. It looks to me that the stacking is the problem and manyshot is just a goofy feat.I also still got to wonder at anybody who runs through 50 arrows in 10 rounds, how many hundreds of arrows would a typical archer need to make it through a typical dungeon at this rate? 200 arrows would give 40 rounds of combat, do they carry quivers with 500 arrows in them all the time, do they all have 3 or 4 Quivers of Ehlonna (4 x 60 arrows = 240 arrows or 48 rounds of fighting). If your archers are using 50 gallon barrels for quivers then doesn't that seem just a bit odd? your 500 arrows weigh in at 75 pounds, not counting your 25 quivers, not to metion that this is just plain bulky, I guess they all have portable holes just full of arrows, when does this get to the point of just being silly?</blockquote>
