Item: Dragonfire Halfbow
Crafted by layering bamboo with strips of sliced scales harvested from a fire-breathing dragon, this bow has a significant draw strength. This design is commonly seen in Hongal, as the shorter limbs allow for easier maneuvering on horseback. While the wielder of this +2 striking composite shortbow is mounted, they apply the bow's item bonus to Nature checks to Command your mount.
Activate 2 Interact
Frequency once per day
Effect You draw the bow back to its maximum draw length without nocking an arrow, and as you release the string, the dragonfire halfbow casts Fireball (heightened to 5th-rank; DC 29 Reflex save), targeted at a point of your choosing within the spell's range. You and your mount are immune to the effects of this fireball.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Bow: If the target of the critical hit is adjacent to a surface, it becomes stuck to that surface by the missile. The target is immobilized until it succeeds at an Interact action and a DC 10 Athletics check to pull the missile free. The target doesn't become stuck if it is incorporeal, liquid, or could otherwise escape without effort.
