OK, can someone please tell me how this works. Say you have the longbow "Strong Arm +2" and you are firing just normal arrows, will they now strike at +3 damage? because that is what the bow gives, a +3 for damage and for THACO. BUT, if you fire +1 arrows, are you now at a +4 damage? (+3 for bow and +1 for the arrow)? And what about the creatures that need a +3 to hit them. I know that with the strong arm firing normal arrows, these creatures do not get hit, but will they now be hit firing just +1 arrows? because the math says that you are firing at a +4 rate?

One more thing, the short bow Tansheron's Bow +3. it fires 'magical arrows'. are they +1 arrows? +2? do they cause any more damage?

So as you can see, bows confuse me a little. if someone can give me some clarification, that would be AWESOME!! and if you think of anything else that would be handy to know, please tell me.
