Unlimited ammo

[dragon4e]

Does any bows, slings or crossbows exit with the unlimited ammo property? I don't think it would be unbalanced considering that ranged for the most part isnt as good as melee. I thought about making an arcane archer but passed it up. I dont want to do boatloads of arrows in inventory. Sure save up some for a special fight but mainly money is darn hard to get for special ammo.

The original elemental runes used to make unlimited elemental arrows. When I updated the crafting stuff and added the ability to add elemental damage to bows and craft material based ammo, I changed it.

I don't have anything against it but it really does limit you it the type of ammo used.

As for ranged being weaker than melee....The gap isn't as wide as it once was although it's still there. When my ranger gets to 21 and gets one shot the gap may disappear al-together. We shall see.

I know that the elemental damage runes translate onto the ammo's damage, but do the enhancement runes on the bow also translate to the ammo's damage (in normal NWN2 I'm pretty certain that a +5 bow is only +5 AB and not +5 dmg)?

I've leveled up an archer here to about level 11-ish, but never actually thought about checking to see if this is so...

Well, it didn't use to add enhancement, just AB. I changed it to have enhancement damage and it does translate to damage (as far as I can tell).

It should be. If not let me know as that's one of the things I turned on in my fletching pack.

Any of the enchants you can put on the bow (elemental, enhance, holy avenger, etc) should be transfered to any arrow fired.

They will not stack (d6 fire bow and d6 fire arrow = d6 total damage). The "+5 Arrows" stack with +5 enhance because one is +enhance and one is only +damage (how I hate that being how arrows were done).
