[[File:Gigas Bow.jpeg|400px|thumb|right|Yes it deserves its name.]]
This massive bow was designed not to fire arrows, but to fire [[SRD:Spear|spears]]. Merely pulling the string is a herculean task by itself and only a character with a [[Strength]] of 20 or more can fire the bow without penalty, for every 2 points of  [[Strength]] below 20 the range of the bow halves and all attacks made with it take a cumulative -2 penalty. The Spear-Thrower Greatbow must be anchored to the ground or wall by the large spike at its base in order to provide the leverage to draw the string and fire accurately, making it impossible to use on horseback and while flying.

In the hand of a proficient creatures, the Spear-Thrower Greatbow can be used to make [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]] (assuming you possess the feat), and its wielder may use her [[Strength]] score instead of [[Dexterity]] score for attack and damage. Whenever you strike a creature with a Spear-Thrower Greatbow you may also attempt a [[SRD:Bull Rush|Bull Rush]] at range and you do not move with your opponents if you succeed. Finally after you successful bull rush a creature if it traveled at least 15 feet it is made prone, or only 5 ft if you possess the [[Improved Bull Rush, Codex (3.5e Feat)|Improved Bull Rush]] feat.

Finally a proficient  wielder may as an attack action make an impaling attack. Instead of making a normal attack roll, the bow fires as a line that extends out to half of your first range increment. Every creature within the line is allowed a [[Reflex]] DC 10 + 1/2 BAB + attack modifier to negate the damage.</onlyinclude>
