[Greek Mythos] Bow of Artemis (Patreon)

Weapon (any bow), uncommon (requires attunement)

The Pale Stag is a biological anomaly: periodically manifested into existence by the goddess of the hunt, this huge, cream-coloured specimen runs more swiftly than an eagle soars and leaves nary a footprint behind. For those that can catch this elusive prey, a bow of incredible beauty can be crafted from its antlers and sinew.

This bow has 8 charges and regains 1d4 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. For each unexpended charge, an ethereal butterfly flits around to bow.

Multishot. Once on each of your turns when you make an attack with this weapon, you can expend up to 3 charges to cause that many butterflies to reshape into magical arrows and nock themselves on the bow. Instead of attacking as normal, you target a different creature within range with each arrow and make a separate attack roll against each one. Arrows shot with this property deal force damage instead of piercing damage, and deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: Increase the total number of charges to 10, the recharge to 1d6 + 4, and the number of charges you can spend at once with Multishot to 4. The bow has the Thrill of the Hunt property.

Thrill of the Hunt. When you reduce a Small or larger beast or monstrosity to 0 hit points using an attack with this bow, it regains 1 expended charge.

Very rare variant: You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Increase the total number of charges to 10, the recharge to 1d6 + 4, and the number of charges you can spend at once with Multishot to 4. The bow has the Thrill of the Hunt and Locate Prey properties.

Locate Prey. As an action, you can expend 4 charges to cast the locate creature spell from the bow. If used to locate a beast or monstrosity, the spell isn’t impeded by running water, and can locate the creature at twice the normal distance, even if it’s in a different form.Download here
