how to reduce panelty for bow shots underwater?

[Qayinisorouse]

So we're in that stage in Carrion Crown and we're underwater.

i am a 10th level paladin archer
every time i shoot my bow (as per the rules) i take -2 per 5 feet. id like to reduce this.

the DM says freedom of action does not remove the penalties.
What can i do?

thank you!

Buy an underwater crossbow... That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Projectile weapons just don't works well underwater...

The cyclonic weapon enchantment would let your bow ignore all underwater penalties, but unfortunately it's a +2 equivalent ability - quite expensive for what is most likely a passing limitation. Then again, Cyclonic is very useful for also ignoring Wind Wall and Fickle Winds, the traditional bane of archers.

Thank you guys,
turns out the underwater part of Carrion Crown is two seconds long..

DM told me
"even if this was a whole book id remove the penalty, i won't screw a player like that"
