The standard Bow is a ranged weapon that fires Arrows. The Bow may only be used in certain situations and not in melee combat. Without a proper melee weapon, Lone Wolf will have to fight bare-handed, with the appropriate penalties.
Usage[]
To use the bow, one must have at least one arrow available. Then, one typically has to make a random number check. A sufficiently high roll can wound or even kill the target outright, avoiding a fight.
Bow shots receive bonuses from several sources:
- Weaponmastery: Bow grants +3 to any random number check required, rising to +5 with Grand Weaponmastery.
- Mentora-level Weaponmastery adds +2 to any random number check required.
- Silver Bow of Duadon: adds +3 to any random number check required.
- Pensei Bow: adds +1 any random number check required.[1]
Bow shots can also be enhanced by the two Magi-magic spells Flameshaft and Penetrate.

- ↑ Strictly speaking, the Pensei Bow adds +1 to combat skill when using the Bow in combat. However, because Bows aren't usually used in combat, a possible alternative interpretation is that it adds +1 to random number checks for bow shots.
