11-04-07, 03:18 AM If you want ranged combat and don't care how you get it, however, there's Brutal Throw from Complete Adventurer. Lets you do a Power Attack with thrown weapons...

EDIT: Brutal Throw is in Complete Warrior and lets you use your Str bonus instead of Dex when using a thrown weapon. Power Throw, from Complete Adventurer is the one that lets you Power Attack with a thrown weapon.

11-08-07, 02:52 PM if you have access to it, there was a little book that came with the old D&D cartoon collector's series DVD, and it has a bow in it that lets you power attack with it as its special feature. I'm not sure if it's official wizards stuff, but the design of the book looks exactly like an official D&D 3.5 book (as in, it has all the logos and such on it. I know it's *liscensed* by wizards, as it has states so on the back, but i'm not sure if it would be considered official wizards material)

Other than that, the peerless archer is the only other way i know to PA with a bow specifically.

Yup, that's the one!

Incredibly awesome bow.

I agree with the first clause, and wholly disagree with the rest.
