This enchantment, which can be placed on any weapon if you have the coin, adds a +7 to the damage of its attack whenever you roll a 20. Welcome, friends, to the land of vicious weaponry. Perhaps you'd rather your good hits require luck. Maybe calling out your enemies isn't your style. This bow is out for blood!Ĭertainly a vicious & heavy crossbow, but not EXACTLY a Vicious, Heavy Crossbow It is the Death Note of weapons! All you have to do is tell it you hate THAT GUY and loose an arrow at 'em.īeing able to shoot clear through cover. It talks! Not like a certain crooked talking sword we all love, but it speaks and that's fun Young adventurers can take note from the Lord of the Silver Marches, ruler of the Silverymoon, Methrammar Aerasumé was always armed with +2 magical arrows. High Lord Aerasumé carried Swiftflgiht through his many adventures as High Marshal of the Argent Legion while leading 400 soldiers at Rauvinwatch Keep. In the Forgotten Realms, Tyresia, an elven wizard crafted an oathbow for his half-brother High Lord Methrammar Aerasumé, Swiftflight was an oathbow imbued with the personality of the elven wizard. Couple these boons with the additional 3d6 piercing damage on all successful hits and what more could you want from a weapon? Any arrow placed in this bow is at a near can't miss hit rate. Having the chance to reroll an attack and take the highest number is an opportunity that cannot be missed.Īlong with this sudden boost in effectiveness your archer will also receive the ability to see through any cover the target might try to hide behind as long as it isn't total cover. For seven days, or until the target dies, you have Advantage on attacks made with the Oathbow against the sworn enemy. Having a nemesis has always been a secret dream of mine, and in my younger years I attempted to rack them up, while I don't suggest such nonsense in the real world (the dry cleaning & gas bills alone are astronomical), having one in roleplay space comes with some nice perks. Nock an arrow, friend, and hear this bow speak in elvish tongues “swift defeat to my enemies.” Making an Attack while speaking the Command phrase, "Swift death to you who have wronged me," will result in the bow declaring the target its Sworn Enemy. It swore an oath, and your enemies will bow.
No, this article is all about boosting that 1d8 piercing damage without touching your characters attributes, but more importantly it is about cool items and that sweet, sweet lore.
“But Chris, a good class has nothing to do with magic or cool weapons, it is all in the character build.” Well, listen here illusory effigy of an outraged and argumentative commentator, we aren't talking builds today. Here are 10 bows to eldritch blast that cantrip spamming, robe wearing, demon lover back to the front lines so you can do what you do best, and Let 'em FLY! Lackluster in combat in low levels, and out shined by the warlock at higher levels, the poster-class for Legolas fans could use a buff or two. The Ranger is so often passed by that even after 10 years of nearly weekly play I have never built a dedicated master of the bow. The Ranger, a classic image of a Dungeons & Dragons character if there ever was one, is not as often maligned as their unarmed friend, the Monk, but is perhaps more overlooked. Pick up these bows the next time you're in town, and bring your damage game to the next level.
