2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

Greatarrow

Greatarrows are frighteningly powerful projectiles, capable of piercing dragonhide and smashing through thick steel plate. They are especially forged for the purpose of generating intense stopping power and penetration. Greatarrows are always masterwork. Greatarrows are retrievable, though any greatarrow that has struck a surface or creature with a hardness or damage reduction greater than the greatarrow's hardness is ruined.

Ordinary greatarrows are fashioned from steel (hardness 10, with 10 hit points), weigh 5 pounds, and are valued at 50 gp a piece. For the purpose of applying the masterwork element, greatarrows are produced in batches of 10 (200 gp base plus 300 gp masterwork costs).

Magical Greatarrows

Greatarrows can be enhanced, similar to other magical ammunition. A magical greatarrow increases the greatbowman's effective base attack bonus for the purpose of dealing more damage and increasing the knockback save DC by an amount equal to the greatarrow's enhancement bonus.

Magical greatarrows can have a maximum base enhancement bonus of +5. Greatarrows with an enhancement bonus of +6 or higher are epic, and follow epic pricing rules.

Table: Magical Greatarrows¹

Enhancement Bonus	Price Increase2
+1	+150 gp
+2	+600 gp
+3	+1,350 gp
+4	+2,400 gp
+5	+3,750 gp
Prices are for one greatarrow. Add to base price of one greatarrow; a +3 greatarrow costs 1,400 gp.
