Greenwood MW Composite Longbow [+2] = 750gp, yes?

[Lenthalia]

Just wanted to verify my math on this, and my understanding that I could get this with 2 PP.

Composite Longbow = 100gp
MW = +300 gp
+2 strength rating = +200gp
Greenwood = 50gp x 3 lbs. = +150gp

Total = 750gp.

Seems legit?

I realize that using greenwood is not that big a deal, as I can't recall playing in a scenario where your weapons were ever damaged, but my character's strength is 14, so might as well use the 150gp gap for something.

Looks correct to me.

Thank you, good sir.

I had a scenario not long ago where someone's masterwork weapon was busted - but that was from hitting the target in melee.

I'd personally go with Darkwood. That's 1.5 lbs less you have to carry, and it can be Mended by a 2nd level character.

That's what I paid for mine!

Aye, but greenwood takes one-quarter damage from fire, repairs itself (even regrowing missing parts, so in theory your bow could be completely cut in half, and all you'd have to do is put it in damp soil, then restring it), and 1.5lbs isn't much to a character with at least a 14 Strength.

This is a good use of 2PP. ;)

I considered it, but I have my masterwork backpack, and the heaviest thing I'll ever wear, armor wise, is the Chain Shirt I have now. That leaves 37 pounds after the backpack and armor are accounted for. And Mithral Breastplate will eventually make that even better.

So, encumbrance is not an issue, as long as I'm not stupid about it. Had I been 12 strength, then darkwood would have been the way to go for sure. Of course, then it would be closer to 500gp, with the +1 modifier, and I probably wouldn't have spent prestige on it.

The darkwood bow allows a +3 strength to damage for the price of two prestige points. If you only need +2, and you like greenwood, you are on your way!

I've been pondering it for a while, but the wink is making me nervous... are you going to try to burn up my precious bow in the most recent season? :)

@DesolateHarmony, my char is 14 strength, so she can't pull back a [+3] rating bow properly. Thanks for the input, though!
