So if I have a force bow (magic item compendium) and I fire a smoke arrow (apg) from it, does it still create an area of smoke where it hits? Or does the bow changing the projectile to force mean it's no longer alchemical. What about blunt arrows? Flight? This seems to be a matter of interpretation, but I'm curious what y'all think.
Thanks
I'm well aware that rule 0 always applies, but my table is populated by friends who also happen to be adults. We tend to discuss various interpretations of the rules rather than just treating the dm as the "game-king". My dm and I can both see either version as being possible, so here I am asking for other opinions.
Either is viable, especially since a +5 weapon does almost everything a +1 force weapon does. The differences being dealing with incorporal/etherial targets, and of course that a +5 bow is more accurate and does more damage.
Any other thoughts beyond rule 0?
