📋 About This Mod

Others have done this longbow already but this is my interpretation of Taulmaril Heartseeker from the Legend of Drizzt books in terms of looks and stats. I played off of both the lore & description for how the weapon looks and for its stats. The bow has a custom 3D model and textures and is also animated like the other BG3 bows. The bow also fires custom silver colored arrows.

Currently, I have two versions of the bow for you to choose from. One will level with you as you level up. The other one is at full power no matter what level you are. Both bows can be found in the tutorial chest.

The bow has two custom attacks that come with it. The first is a replacement for the normal range attack called Anariel Silver Arrow. This plays off the idea that when you draw an arrow from Anariel Quiver, it does magical damage plus the bow's damage. The normal arrow that is fired from the bow is BG3, is an orange color. My Taulmaril bow fires silver colored arrow. You can still select the normal ranged attack, but it will just be a normal arrow that adds the bow's enchantment bonus to the damage. This gives playing into the idea that the arrows from the quiver are better arrows. If you are using the level-up version, this is +1 force damage from levels 1-4, 1d4 force damage from 5-8, and 2d4 from 9+.

The second attack is Quiver of Anariel. This is only usable on a bonus action, and this fires a special arrow that does 4d8 lightning and 2d4 force damage with a save DC of 17 Dex. If they make the Dex save, they will take no damage. If you are using the level-up version, this unlocks at level 8.

NOTE: Please know that the special attacks do not work with sneak attack. I spent days trying to figure out how to make it work with the special attacks and couldn't get it to work. I didn't intend for it to be used with it in the first place. The normal ranged sneak attack will work with it, but you will not get the bonus damage from Anariel Quiver. I have found that it does sometimes add the sneak attack damage if your using a character that has advantage and can do sneak attack, but I have no idea why it works sometimes and other times not. It's still an amazing bow either way, and I hope you enjoy it.
Note: The images of the bow are taken with the non-leveling bow version, as that is the one I prefer to play with.

If you like, please endorse and leave a comment. It would mean a lot to me.

A special thank you to kharneth for helping me with getting the bow animation to work.

Also would like to thank XiphiasRex on the Larian Studios discord channel for helping me get the bow level up stats to work correctly.

And would like to thank Larian Studios for making us such an amazing game and going above and beyond what a game should be. Also for giving us the power to mod their wonderful game.
