Magic weapon on bows?

[Moonlighter]

I'm not active at the moment, but for what it's worth in the past every time we've inched towards more archer loot I ended up getting quite irritated watching PCs pseudo-exploit AI/situations using ranged combat. I'm sorry but I just don't think NWN handles ranged combat very well.

... Engine limitations aside, should we just not play archers then?

I tried doing a dual wield Rogue at the beginning, only to find out that it's really not viable unless I multi into Fighter.

So I went archer with two useless feats so I could actually survive your average quest, but it's frustrating when the stuff you need to deal with some of the more common enemies is so rare and there's no mechanics that can help you out. I believe there's a bard song that helps, but magic weapon, alchemist fire, et cetera just doesn't work and that's frustrating.

People have seriously suggested I take the Arcane Archer PRC just to make up for the fact that there's no real +AB bows around and no serious way to obtain mass amounts of specialty arrows. And that doesn't really seem right to me either, considering it doesn't really fit my concept. =/

FYI Dual wield rogues can work very well, they can be extremely deadly.

Archers are still viable they are just less useful in some scenarios like all classes. Rogue archers for example if your position is good can do a lot of damage against targets that aren't immune to sneak attack but you will never rival the damage of a melee opponent really with the exception of a Arcane Archer (Which Is very rare to see)

Specialized ammunition merchant please.

99 +1 enhancement arrows, 500gp/stack
99 +1 elemental damage arrows 250gp/stack
etc

Or more alchemy/herb recipes that make bow/crossbow ammo

I still stand by my post, more mighty +2/3/4(?) bows would be a long way to bypassing DR and maybe making other archer builds that aren't 20 dex rogues.  Only an opinion and not really the OP subject.

It already is possible to create all the said things, so yeah, Joe could do that, already.

On other fact, there are bows to be gained that can pass DR, of specific races, or alignment even, even fully pierce all /+1.

We might consider adding something more, who knows. The suggestion was heard, and we may do something about the matter. However notice, once again, that not all weapons or classes or things will be equal on everything. For some things, DR is a pain in the ass, on other things not so much.

Original suggestion was noted, and these matters are surely discussed. However these random talks and thoughts, without much more than presenting individual preferences or opinions, will not weight decisions one way or another.

I think this thread, for me, has highlighted a distinct disregard for the suggestion guidelines that continues to creep up on the forums. It would not hurt some people to go over them again, and consider them intently before they feel the need to wade into a thread in future.

Thank you for the original suggestion, it was duly noted and appreciated.
