02-02-07, 08:49 PM Winter's Bite

This sling is made out of a thin strip of Elk hide. It seems to radiate cold, and any stone placed in it generates a thin layer of frost on it almost instantly. The sling is a +2 freezing burst sling that, whenever a reasonable amount of water (more than a few drops, but not a water skin full) is placed in it, freezes into a bullet. These act as normal bullets, but after impact they melt.

02-02-07, 09:01 PM Echoer: This +2 light crossbow bestows the sonic and sonic burst properties on its projectiles. Furthermore, the weilder can choose to fire a special bolt that does no damage, but explodes upon impact into a cacaphonous scream that functions as a Thunderstone.

This +1 Returning Talenta Boomerang does not deal damage, but instead stuns any opponent with a ranged touch attack. There is no save against this effect. You may make a ranged attack with it against an immobile, unattended object weighing not more than 5 pounds to have the boomerang pick that object up; if you hit, the object will be delivered into your hand when the boomerang returns at the start of your next turn.

02-02-07, 10:03 PM 'Shatterstring'

This +1 Brilliant energy composite longbow, when drawn, casts a mirror image spell on the wielder. however, the bow also splits each arrow fired into 10 pieces, making attacks with the bow have a +5 bonus on attack rolls, as there are 70 shards of energy fired rather then a normal arrow. This bow deals half damage and creatures with evasion have a +2 bonus to armor class aganst attacks with this weapon. Foes with improved evasion have a +5 bonus instead. Spells stored in weapons and poisons are ineffective when fired from this bow.

Shatterstring, if used within 5 feet of the foe, does double rather then half damage. You still provoke attacks of opportunity as normal, although the mirror image effect allows a defense.

The mirror image effect only applies on attacks of opportunity or readied attacks when firing the bow.

Finally, the wielder of Shatterstring can cast silent image at will, true strike 3/day, and mirror image 1/day at caster level 15. The silent image spell has a special material component of an arrow.

Well wouldn't it be sitting in a small-medium sized fire? Personally I wouldn't want to have to walk into a fire to pick it up especially since it could just explode again because it's sitting in a fire.

02-02-07, 10:59 PM Hmm, just for fun (not for judging) i want to stat something out from discworld. Here it is, the thing we've all been waiting for, Detritus's Crossbow!

Not so much a crossbow, more a 2500 pound draw siege weapon used as one, this weapon fires a bundle of bolts, the acceleration of which tears them apart into burning wooden shrapnel. The only safe place when this weapon is fired is about 100 feet behind the wielder
Large Crossbow
Range increment-250 feet
Damage-4d12 x4 crit (its a freaking siege crossbow)
Ammo-20 bolts, tied together (one shot)
Loading-Takes 2 full round actions to load and **** the crossbow, it cannot be loaded by a character with less than 25 strength, as the crank was taken off.

[EDIT]-Dang, they censor ****?

02-03-07, 12:12 AM Not a weapon but ammunition:
Zingers
These enchanted sling bullets are made of pure mercury; when fired, a zinger transforms into a (randomly colored) magic missile that unerringly strikes its target for 1d4+1 pts of (force) dmg.

Not powerful, but fun.

02-03-07, 10:43 AM Lore: Bigby's weapon of choice, used to keep his foes at bay even when his spells fail. One can hold down any foe with this bow of force.

Description: This bow is inlaid with finely poliched silver and the string is made of magical force. When pulled back back, a bright silvery bolt appears in the weapon, ready to be fired.

Activation: By pulling back the string of the bow, an arrow made of force is created with the +5 seeking special qualities. After each successful hit, you may make a free ranged bull rush attempt.

Effect: This +5 seeking longbow knocks an arrow of force automatically when the string is pulled, removing the need for purchasing arrows. Half of the damage dealt by these arrows is force damage. Also, being a force effect, the arrow suffers no miss chance against incorporeal foes.
The force of the blast created by the arrows can also force creatures back. With each attack, you get to make one ranged bull rush against your foe, with the exception that you add your dexterity modifier to the roll instead of your strength modifier.

Aura/Caster Level: Strong Evocation & moderate transmutation; CL 13th;

Construction:Craft Magic Arms & Armour; true seeing, bigby's forceful hand; cost 93,150gp, 3726xp

Weight: 1 lbs;

Price: 186,300
