Can you build bows with wands built in?


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

Hello All, Can you build a bow with a wand or two built in? That would allow you to skip the pulling the wand part out, yes?


You still have to ready the bow. Or do you go around town constantly pointing your bow at people?

Sovereign Court

People are annoying. Nevertheless, I am trying to dispense the retrieving of the wand before I have to activate it...then ready the bow (if not done so) and fire the next round.


In PFS, no.

You want the spell, Weaponwand, to do this.

There was a very cool ability for warlocks in the Vigilante Playtest called Tattoo Chamber that allowed you to absorb a wand into a tattoo and activate it as if it were in hand.

I have no idea if it will still be there when UI is released, but it's similar to what you want and one of the best abilities warlocks had.

Weaponwand would work if I could make it permanent. Otherwise, I would take a round to install the wand, which wouldn't address the primary issue of getting rid of the "draw wand" action.

It would be a custom magic item. A wonderous item with charged abilities. It would get much more expensive than just having the wands, but that's how you'd do it.

Ask your GM for a custom wondrous item, but he should say no because of the improvement in action economy.

Thanks. I'll make a ring.


You could use the Unseen servant spell to absorb the action cost of juggling stuff.
It last for 1 hour/CL so even a wand of it would likely cover what you want to do.
