Someone asked this question in another thread, but it has me interested. Can you hit a demon with an 8x bow and blessed arrows? Or would you need to somehow get 8x arrows?

You fire a faewood arrow at a huge incarnadine vathor!
AS: +553 vs DS: +199 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +33 = +407
... and hit for 55 points of damage!
The faewood arrow is deflected to one side, sailing to the ground.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

7x bow, 5x blessed arrows.

Speaking to you, Ceyrin asks, "Do you spontaneously come back to life when you die?"
Speaking to you, Ceyrin says, "Because I do."
You say, "Yes. I have a condition called Annoraxia.""

Droit, do you think it is based on the final enchant between the bow and arrows in this case?

Droit's right.

You inhale deeply upon your pipe, puckering your lips as you send out three rings of smoke before you, then puff out a small vine of smoke that darts right through all three which causes them to disperse in a hazy shroud!

I'm wondering if perhaps archery requires a total of 11x.

from what i understand of demons its 7x and blessed to hit unphased, Droit got the 7x from his bow and the blessed from the arrow. to test it Droit needs to shoot a demon with 7x bow and 0x blessed arrow. 5+5 may add up to 10 but no enchant alone is over 7,where most melee weapons that hit are.

They're supposed to be hard to kill.
They are.
== Design Success!

Not that I disagree with you, but demons are immune to many spells.

You mean 704, which is just named Phase. And it is either that or dispel them enough. I also believe if they just spend enough time away from their natural plane they become hittable by any blessed weapon.

Perhaps a sorcerous alchemy recipe involving phase that produces a salve with a limited number of uses (10?) that is placed on a 7x blessable weapon, which then allows said 7x blessable weapon to hit unphased demons could be created.

It's tedious enough to keep us looking for that 8x blessable, but could be a good backup in case of an emergency.

Nice. +1

how about including a new metal thats magical property is it hits demons in mining and smelting when it comes out. and merchants to turn the slabs into arrowheads for the fletchers.make it a high end high skill deal to work with for the miners and smelters.

How about urglaes is able to hit demons? That makes sense doesn't it? And since urglaes isn't doing anything, why not? Actually veil iron kind of makes sense too, since it can be viewed as from space or "another plane", as are demons.

On the other hand, aside from you archers, I think needing an 8x weapon to hit them without first allowing them to fully enter the plane is a neat mechanic and gives us melee users something to strive for. We can make it easier to kill demons, but is that what we want: demons easy to kill? 8x arrows on the other hand seem exponentially impractical. Veil iron tipped arrows seem more reasonable and purposeful. Plus, the idea of bane arrows is pretty cool.

"make it a high end high skill deal to work with for the miners and smelters."


" so wait another 4 or 5 years for another 2 or 3 ethereal weapons to be released?"


Better than a decade or more for two systems that have been dead for at lest that long?

I recently got to play with the mold for buckles. It works with the orbs from wasp nests and has about 40 different settings (turn to set). I only had one orb at the time and made a beatiful glaes dragon buckle. From my understanding thus far they may be randomly imbeddible, but this one was not. When loresung, I recieved the same strange message (for use by a mage or other spell-user) that you get when you loresing those wonderful scripted boomerangs. I plan on harvesting more orbs to have more fun happy time play with the mold before, regretfully, returning the mold to its current owner (oldguy mcdust).

I think its a neat idea to have a raffle for a new mold that makes arrowheads since the mechanics still work and I will be posting your idea in another folder ASAP!

That would be incorrect Keith. At least the khal ebows were 4x and random 1-30, so is a chance to hit a demon, but i wouldnt reccomend it
