Essentially, the handle portion of the bow is offset to one side by a couple of inches with an integral wrist brace, and a small wooden ring is woven into the bowstring where you would normally nock the arrows. This ring is used as a "in which various projectiles are nestled, and then shot forth by the Stonebow. The most common projectiles are sling bullets or small stones. A Stonebow cannot fire arrows. In general a Stonebow hits even harder than a Greatbow because it is using heavier ammunition, but it also has a much shorter range increment. The Stonebow can also be used to fire most grenade-like throwing projectiles much further than they can be thrown by hand. In general, any grenade-like projectile can be used in a Stonebow and has the range modifier tripled. In addition, there are many special types of Stonebow ammunition available. A Stonebow cannot be used with the Rapidshot or Manyshot feat! | ||
