Necromancers Bone Bow

Necromancers Bone Bow

The Necromancers Bone Bow is a long bow +2, +3 vs humans. Created from the bones of slain humans by ancient liches these bows were gifted to their elite undead minions. These minions would command the liches forces across the battlefield. Using this bow to create new minions or cause massive wounds versus their opponents.

Any arrow strung through the sinew bowstring turns into an arrow made of bones. Once the arrow hit its target and puncture the skin it breaks apart into dozens of bone shards. Each round the target must save or take 1d4 additional damage until it saves. All subsequent damage is cumulative. Any magical healing will negate the additional damage. Once a save has been successful no further damage accrues.

The bow can also be used to animate dead. Any arrow shot onto the battlefield turns into skeleton one round later. Including arrows that miss intended targets.
