Composite bow and magic arrows


Rules Questions


Hello, Sorry for this total newb question, but it has been bugging me and my search-fu is failing.

Basically, does a C. bow's str rating stack with magic arrows for damage?

Composite bow (+2 str rating)

+1 arrow.

Char has +2 str needed.

+1 to hit and +3 to dam?

or

+1 to hit and +2 to dam?

Thank you!

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8


With a proper composite bow the str bonus stacks with the arrow's (or bow's but not both) enhancement bonus.


Thanks!

The Exchange

Nor does the bonus to hit from a magic arrow stack with a masterwork bow's bonus to hit. If they are both magical the higher bonus applies (like a +1 arrow fired from a +2 bow)
but the STR of the bow is above and beyond the magical bonuses from either.
