Bows and Implement Empowerment

[StarlingSweeter]

The text of Implement Empowerment states you need a free hand when you strike to add a small bonus to damage on your attacks. Since bows are 1+ I am assuming you cannot add this damage to your strikes with them? As you do have a free hand but its occupied while you are striking.

If so this may mean that crossbows and guns may be the favoured weapons of a ranged Thaumaturge.

[Captain Morgan]

Yes.

I suspect folks will enjoy dipping the Drow Shootist when they have access.

THough I think I'd rather make a Sling using Thama. Although its a bit awkward. Just stylish.
