Cost of repairing a "broken" compasite +2 magical+2 longbow


Rules Questions


Got into an altercation with a guy who sundered my bow. It is a magical +2 corrosive, thundering compasite longbow. It now has 2hp and I would like to know cost and means of repair.


pay for a casting of 'make whole' by a caster.

It has 2 hp left, so it is broken but not destroyed? You only need a few make whole cast on it.


Make Whole: "This spell functions as mending,"

Mending: "Magic items can be repaired by this spell, but you must have a caster level equal to or higher than that of the object."

Corrosive has an CL of 10, which sets your bows caster level. So you would need a 10th level caster for make whole to fix any damage to your bow. Your Bow's total HP should be 25, assuming it is made of normal wood and not some exotic material. A 10th level casting of make whole repairs 10d6 damage, average of 35. One will probably do you.

Cost of having a spell cast, assuming you can find a 10th level caster who has the spell, is 10gp x Spell Level x Caster Level, or 200 gold pieces in this case.

Or you could find someone with "Craft Arms and Armor" and they could fix it for you. It would cost them 1/4th the market value, and they would probably charge you more than that. Don't do that.

Considering the weapon, you are probably at least level 10. Do none of your party members know the "Mending" cantrip? If at least one of them does, and their caster level is at least 10, they can fix it for you in about 2 hours, for free.

If you have a wizard in the party, you can buy him the spell. 5gp to scribe it, 2.5gp to borrow another wizards book to learn it, or 12.5 gold for a scroll.

So Choose One:
200 gp
Way to many GP
0 GP
7.5 GP
17.5 GP


If your party has a cleric, druid, shaman, wizard, or witch, nothing. Mending is free.

If your party has a bard, sorcerer, oracle or summoner, probably nothing, if they were smart enough to spend an orison/cantrip and get mending, which is an incredibly good spell for lvl 0.
