I've bugged in game but I figured I'd post as well.

I'm noticing some weird interactions with 902 and bow/arrows.

With a plain bow and a plain arrow my AS is 56 (50 ranged bonus + 6 Dex bonus)
With a plain bow and an arrow with 902 on it, I'm getting 62 AS, which is +6 from normal. I'd expect +15.
If I use a bow with 902 on it AND an arrow with 902 on it, my AS is 47, which is -9 from normal and -15 from what i'd normally get with a plain bow and a 902 arrow.
If I use a bow with 902 on it and a plain arrow, my AS is still 47.

Not sure what the issue is. My testing as all done with a third party casting 902 on the items. Character also has 509 on, but that shouldn't impact bow AS anyway.

It's gone up since I've leveled, I assume it scales to give you the proper enchant for your level. I thought it was a flat +15 bonus.

Either way, the reduction when the bow gets 902 cast on it still doesn't make sense.

A bow is a dual purpose item. It uses the quarterstaff weapon profile with melee commands such as ATTACK. When a target is ATTACKed with an edged bow the full +15 AS bonus is applied irrespective of the attacker's level. With the ranged command FIRE, a bow is a missile launcher, not a weapon. It may or may not be intentional that the +15 melee bonus is subtracted from the combat resolution formula with ranged commands but that appears to be what's happening.

Range skill: +50
Dex bonus: +6
Edged arrow: +6 (lvl 3 cap)
Edge bonus negated: -15

Total: +47 AS
