📋 About This Mod
Description
Longbows are really bad implemented into the game. Thematically, they should be the strongest ranged weapons but they are outclassed by heavy and hand crossbows.
My elven longbows add new rules that try to put them on pair, or ideally, in a little better place than crossbows. As always feedback is wellcome so let me known if you think they are too strong (or they still feels weak compared to crossbows).
There's both, normal versions that can be purchased from traders and special versions that can be found around the world.
Note: Only this mod added longbows are affected by this rules. Base game longbows are untouched.
General Characteristics:
-Range is 24m for all mod longbows (6m more than base game).
-Keen Eye: Just like Keen Attack in base game, it doubles proficiency bonus on range attacks rolls, as long as you don't have disadvantage.
-Superior Brace: Just like base game Brace, but can be use once per turn.
-Deadly Shot: Use action and bonus action to shoot with advantage and deals bonus damage equal to proficiency bonus. Can't be use with disadvantage.
From 1. 5 there's new quivers for the musical instrument slot too. Quivers come in all five rarities. Common is just visual and the rest have small bonus. They can be customized to be dyable (See customization below).
