Clarification Request: Bows with Elemental Weapon?


Kineticist Class


"The weapon must be a one-handed simple or martial weapon."

Do bows count as one-handed? These rules:

Say how to use 1+ weapons, but not whether they count as one handed, two handed, or are their own group.

The rest of the ability mentions ranged weapons and ammunition, but otherwise the Hand Crossbow and Air Repeater seem to be the only valid weapons?


It's the same situation of Thaumaturge.

Bows don't count as neither 1H or 2H weapons. They are their own type of overpower 1+ ranged weapons. So you can't use things restricted to 1H weapons with them.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

You could make an elemental gauntlet and wield a bow at the same time as your gathered element since it's now free handed.
