05-24-07, 11:25 PM I have a character with one of these, and I think my campaign will be "upgrading" to the Magic Item Compendium soon. It's not in the new MIC that I can see, and I don't see an errata up for it yet.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks!

I can't seem to remember what was wrong with that bow, didn't it just let you cast true strike as a standard action? If you used it as much as possible, meaning you only fire every other round, you probably arent casting it more than 10 times a day.

Seems ok, but personally I don't want to give up my attacks as an archer... look at say a 11th level ranger, would you be better of firing 4 arrows, or casting true strike?

05-25-07, 07:41 PM There are a lot of things from the Arms and Equipment Guide updated in the Magic Item Compendium, but the Belt of Endurance wasn't.

I'm just hoping it doesn't go away. I was rather fond of it.

more then that it was a spell-completion item, like a wand, so you had to be a spell-caster with true strike on your spell list to use it (or use UMD) so it wouldn't do any good for that 11th level ranger anyway.

ah I see, so really it was only good for the arcane archer types, but still I dont think it would be taht good either way.

05-27-07, 01:39 PM oh I quite agree, the bow of true arrows was not that great of an item, how people can consistantly consider it "Broken" is beyond me... I get the feeling that calling it such is usually a knee-jerk reaction arising from skimming over it, but not actually reading the item description closely and thinking it through.

I was rather fond of it.when the swtoch from 3.0-3.5 happened WotC said that everything from 3.0 was still fine, unless they specifically said it was not anymore, or they reprinted it with changes in a new book (In which case the enw version was the one to use)...
