Eldritch Archers and Arcane Weapon Enhancenments


Rules Questions


I have a quick question.
Do Arcane Weapon Enhancements apply to bows?
For example does Arcane Weapon - Flaming grant flaming arrows?

If not it would make Eldritch Archers vastly inferior to normal Magii.
At least in my opinion.

And what about the simultaneous use of Cantrip (e.g. Acid Splash), Arcane Strike and Arcane Weapon Flaming.

Hoping to be illuminated!

Eldritch Archer?

I think you're in the wrong place. Pathfinder 2 does not have an Eldritch Archer.


If you are just talking about a spellcaster who uses a bow in Pathfinder 2nd Edition, then property runes will tell you what kind of weapon they can be etched into.

So for example a flaming or frost rune can be etched into any weapon, a holy rune can be etched into any weapon without an unholy rune, whereas a dancing or ghost touch rune can only be etched into a melee weapon, while a vorpal rune can only be etched into a melee weapon that does slashing damage.

Eldritch Archer is a Magus archetype from Heroes of the Street.

The Arcane pool abilities are like magic item crafting properties. I'd say a 'Flaming' bow would deal the additional fire damage as the property doesn't require a weapon type. However you couldn't have a 'Vorpal' bow, as it needs to be a slashing melee weapon. (Although a Vorpal Chakram would be cool!)

Sure, but the Pathfinder Playtest does not have a Magus...
