Magical Bows + Magical arrows = ???


Rules Questions


Okay you can not have a magical ranged weapon with out at lest a +1. If the PC has a arrow of shock +1 than is that stacked with the bows +1 to equal a plus two?

Also, What about a Arcane Archer's Enhance arrows (magic) ability. It states that a non-magical arrow is made magical. does that stack with a plus to the attack from the bow. the arrow is not magical but get the bows bonus to damage right? Given that a PC has to be lvl 6 or better to be an Arcane Archer it wound suck that they lose out on this if they have a magical bow at all.


No, it doesn't stack. They are both enhancement bonuses, and therefore don't stack.


which one do I take then? bow or arrow?


Usually it's the highest bonus. If they're the same, players choice, or DM's ruling.


Then if a Arcane Archer has a magical bow his or her Enhance arrow does not work or the bows ability does not work players call each round?


The bonuses granted by a magic bow apply as normal to arrows that have been enhanced with this ability. Only the larger enhancement bonus applies. Duplicate abilities do not stack.

I can be brain dead some days.


While the enhancement bonuses don't stack, you do get the special abilities from both bow and arrow. A +1 flaming bow and +2 arrows combine to fire +2 flaming arrows.


nice
