Description

The yumi bow essentially functions identically to a regular longbow, but with one key difference. The yumi bow is asymmetrical in design, meaning it is shorter on the bottom than on top, allowing it to be used while mounted on horseback without a penalty, or when in crouched positions. Just like with a regular composite longbow, If you have a penalty for low Strength, apply it to damage rolls when you use a longbow. If you have a bonus for high Strength, you can apply it to damage rolls, as this type of bow it also composite. Due to the incredibly unusual construction of this bow, weapons of this type are always masterwork, meaning it has a +1 bonus to attack rolls. If someone is attempting to make this bow by crafting, anything less than masterwork will not be functional.

  1. Increase total cost for magical enhancement by 2,000 gp for cold iron weapons.
  2. Unlike the additional cost, the increase the weapon's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities.
  3. If the weapon has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, the weapon is epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
