Arrows of light (Su): At 5^th level and higher, by pulling the string of the Bow of the Lost Ranger the Bow calls into existence an Arrow of light that deals damage as if it were a physical Arrow, without the need for the wielder to load an actual arrow. This ability does not prevent the wielder from loading specialty Arrows onto the bow, if a physical arrow is used the Bow does not generate the Arrow of Light. Additionally if using feats like multishot the bow will generate additional arrows up to the maximum allowed by the feat.

Marked Target (Su): At 6th level and higher, on command, you can fire the Bow of the Lost Ranger to launch a harmless bolt of energy. With a successful ranged touch attack, the bolt strikes a single target up to 400 feet away, with no range increment penalty. The struck target is outlined as if by a faerie fi re spell. Caster level 5th.

Shore Up Morale (Sp): Beginning at 7th level, once per day on command, you can use bless as the spell. Caster level 5th.

Fiery Vengeance (Sp): At 8th level and higher, once per day on command, you can cause the Bow of the Lost Ranger to launch a fireball as the spell. Caster level 7th. Increases to 2/day at level 13

Shooting Wild (Su): At 11th level, the spirit within the Bow of the Lost Ranger lends you a little precision, granting you a +2 enhancement bonus to your Dexterity. At 15th level this bonus rises to +4, increasing to +6 at 18th level.

Heat Shield (Su): Starting at 12th level, you can withstand temperatures up through severe heat (to 140° F) without having to make Fortitude saves. (See page 303 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide for details on heat dangers.)

Soul Seared: When you reach 14th level, the Bow of the Lost Ranger transforms into an intelligent item. The weapon can speak Common, Elven, and Orc, but it can also communicate with you telepathically. It has darkvision and hearing out to 60 feet, along with an Intelligence score of 10, a Wisdom score of 15, and a Charisma score of 15. The Bow of the Lost Ranger is chaotic good. The item’s Ego score is 9 + its effective enhancement bonus (a total of 12 at 11th level), or 13 + its enhancement bonus if any greater abilities have been unlocked. In the event a personality conflict occurs and you lose the Bow of the Lost Ranger influences you to travel abroad, seeking out and eradicating evil creatures that rely on overwhelming numbers to defeat their opponents.

Beyond Range (Su): At 19th level, you gain damage reduction 10/magic against ranged weapons.

Fury Unleashed (Su): Once you attain 20th level, the Bow of the Lost Ranger gains the special purpose of defeating creatures that rely on overwhelming numbers to swarm their enemies. When facing opponent’s outnumbering you and your allies by at least 50 percent, you can use the fiery vengeance ability once per round without expending that ability’s normal daily use limit. Since it is a dedicated power (see page 270 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide) under the control of the Bow of the Lost Ranger, this ability ceases to function once the numbers are even or to your advantage again. You can attempt to use fury unleashed when not outnumbered, but this requires a successful Will saving throw to overcome the weapon’s Ego (13 + enhancement bonus).

WIELDER REQUIREMENTS

The Bow of the Lost Ranger Wielder Requirements:

Base attack bonus +3

Favored Enemy (any)

Weapon Focus (Longbow)

Legacy Rituals: Every legacy item has at least one ritual associated with it—a task that must be successfully completed in order to unlock a range of abilities for your use.

A legacy item can have least, lesser, and greater rituals, which grant you access to least, lesser, and greater abilities, respectively, but only if you complete the required ritual.

Cost: A legacy ritual has an associated cost in gold pieces, which is listed here.

Feat Granted: Successful completion of a legacy ritual grants you the legacy feat listed here as a bonus feat, assuming you meet its prerequisites. If you don’t have all the prerequisites, you still gain the feat but cannot benefit from it until the prerequisites are met.

Wielder Requirements: Legacy items have more requirements than simply gaining the associated legacy feats. Such requirements are listed here, much like the prerequisites for entering a prestige class. These requirements do not affect your ability to use the non-legacy abilities of the item.
