10-06-06, 03:47 AM Arrowsplit is a swift spell from champions of valour which causes a touched arrow or bolt to split into 1d4+1 identical copies in mid flight.

Spitting is a +3 ranged weapon enhancement, also from champions of valour, which lets the fired arrow/bolt to split into 2 identical versions in mid air as well.

How would these 2 interact? Say a ranger cast arrowsplit on an arrow, and fired it from a +1 splitting bow. How many arrows would it split into?

I am tempted to say (1d4+1)*2, but I have a feeling you peeps aren't going to let me get away that easily...:P

Thanks in advance.:)

All I'm going to say is that I would allow them to stack. Of course, I wouldn't allow the Splitting enhancement...

10-06-06, 10:25 AM That seems like WAY too much..

Splitting + Multishot + Arrowsplit (If all stacked) = a crap ton of attacks..

I would rule that Arrowsplit would work on only one arrow.

10-06-06, 10:50 AM Even though one's a spell, this sounds like a "similar effects don't stack" issue akin to haste + weapon of speed.

I wouldn't allow this, but give you cred for a good idea :)

The spell splitting only works on ONE of the new arrows that were split by the enchantment.

You could fire multiple enchanted arrows as part of many shot, but again, the spell that split would only work on a single arrow fired and it happens after the split from the enchantment.
