Tonarlanz Striker

Tonarlanz (me generic archer/mage ) created this bow with his vast magical powers. With it he unleashes the power of acid and lightning in a massive tempest that destroys anything on its path.

On a more down to earth note, it is a long bow that seems to fire acid arrows (melf's acid arrows) which when they impact do the usual d6 of bow damage + 10 acid damage +10 lightning damage. BTW the impact animation is the prot. from evil one (i always thought it looked like lightning) and the melf acid arrow impact.

It also has a 15% chance of casting Divine storm (the spell with the purple clouds and orange lightning bolts) with each hit.

Seems like a killer bow lots of damage there. Seems a litte high but what the hell. What is the rate of fire. This bow should e a great troll killer as well.

What do you mean by archer/mage? Rangers can't dual to anything except clerics

I think it's too powerful. It needs a downside.

D*Ranged 09-08-2002 08:55 PM

A good one would be HIGH str requirement and some damage every time that divine thingy happens?

That bow would need some colossal drawbacks to be fair. Somebody's been paying homage to the Munchkin Gods here. The bit about the impact animations is nice, but at least get rid of the Storm of Vengeance, and make a percentage of the damage reflect back upon the user.

About the Archer->Mage: Somebody wrote a MOD that allows you to make a Fighter, and take the Archer kit. Perfectly fair, but I think that if you DO become a Fighter(Archer), you shouldn't be allowed to Dual to Mage. Kensai->Mage was bad enough.

how about the downside is this... you cant weild the bow unless youre an archer.

How about making it cursed so that u become a retard?(5 Int, 5 Wis) Or make it that u take 10~20% of the damage that u do to the demons..etc?

I assume it is +5 enchanted? Perfect tens for Acid/Lightning damage is way too good. ;)

May I suggest the following instead?

1d6+5 piercing damage, +1d4 acid damage, +1d4 electrical damage

Your current bow has a damage range of 21-26, the above has a damage range of 8-19. You may think I have nerfed the base damage too much, but I am not done yet.

Give the bow a 25% chance to cast Chain Lightning( at user's level) on each hit.

Allow the user to cast Call Lightning( at user's level) once per rest.

Once a day, the archer can use the bow to call forth a lightning storm by shooting a magical arrow into the sky. It takes a full day for the magical arrow to recharge.

How about make it have a 25% chance to cast lightning bolt instead of chain lightning... should make things more interesting, no?
