📋 About This Mod

Add new longbows and quivers to the game with new base rules and special versions. New custom and edited models for both.

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.

Note: This attack use the attack animation and proyectile trayectorie (arrow fly in straigh line) of the range sneak attack. Because it looks better suited for the "dead shot" concept and makes more difficult to aim when there's something betwen archer and target wich feels thematic.

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).

Location

The basic longbows models can be bought at different locations:

-Common: Dammon at the Grove (Act I)

-Uncommon (+1): Brem at Zhentarim hideout and Blurg at the Miconic colony (Act I)

-Rare (+2): Quartermaster Talli at Last Light Inn and Lann Tarv at Moonrise Towers (Act II) and Fytz the Firecracker at Lowtown (Act III)

The location of the special ones are:

-Faerie Elven Longbow: Chest in the Sunlit Wetlands (Act I). The same one where you find The Sparkle Hands.

-The Shadowbow: Crushed corpse close to Selune's outpost in the Underdark.

-Sussur Elven Longbow: Craft it using Infused Ready Bow Parts and any Sussur Weapon. You can find Infused Ready Bow Parts in Blacksmith basament in Blighted Village (Act I). The same place where you forge the sussur weapon. In the chest where the steelforged shortsword is.

-The True Joltshooter: Craft it using Electrified Bow St
