Greetings,

Is there a way to apply an effect on a weapon. I am trying to figure out how to apply Gravity Bow without just adding a second weapon on the Actions tab.

Thank you

Spell effects work well. Set it up like this:

That method doesn't seem to take into account other effects, such as DMG: 4 from Deadly aim or the 3x Crit of the bow.

The whole bow mechanics is very clunky and difficult to do. Thank you for pointing that out. "DMG: 4 piercing, magic, ranged" may be added as an effect, but how to do Crit x3 I am not sure about. Perhaps just changing the dice in the weapon for the duration of the spell?

If there was only an extension that dealt with Ranged weapon type stuff, like Shot Feats, Gravity Bow, and other such issues.

Agreed. If I had the ability (have not coded in MANY years), I would take this project on.

For the time being, I have two enties in the Actions tab.

Composite Longbow (Str +2)
Gravity Bowed

The only difference in them is the damage dice.

I did something similar with Multishot.

Thank youOnly through an extension. It's a very useful one, but as always has more chance of issues than just running plain FG.

For example: What would be the effect for Gravity Bow? Or do you mean it has not been writen yet, but that extension is the stepping stone?

Unfortunately that "Action Only" feature supposedly doesn't work with one or more of Kelrugem's extensions at the moment, so I haven't tested it out myself.

No ideas regarding the crit multiplier.
