One of my players is looking at getting a great bow made (complete warrior), and he asked me what would the best (toughest) material available in the game to make such a weapon. He fell victim to a sunder attack which destroyed his regular bow, and he would prefer it not happen again ;). Also for future reference, in your opinion, how tough would be a normal great bow (HP, Damage Resistance), and also a great bow made of the new material proposed in this thread.

Thank you for your time.

Also in the DMG under the sections about the plains there is a description of a bow made frmo the antlers of some deer..... it is magical in nature and if he coudl get his hand son that... well it coul dbe good for him.

KAMIKAZE! :chicken:

As his last bow was sundered, he might consider that to be "the best" one available.
