''This crossbow appears to have grown naturally into its shape, made of uncarved wood and vines for string and mechanical bits.  A bud rapidly produces shafts of wood as bolts, which is impressive.  More impressive is what happens when the vines take root.''

The gaea siegebow is unusual not only being a ''light crossbow +1'' which [[SRD:Druid|druids]] are proficient with, but being a crossbow with two interesting powers.  It can generate mundane wooden bolts (which are +1 due to the weapon when fired) with the same action it takes to load a bolt into a normal crossbow at will, granting infinite ammo.  And the other is its ability to transform into a ballista.

As a 1 round action on any natural soil, sand, or other burrow-able surface (typically dirt) the gaea siegebow roots itself, vines and bark rapidly planting itself down and half-encasing its user within its body.  The user takes up a space one size larger (usually Large).  As a ballista it deals 4d6 damage (19-20/x2 critical), with a range increment of 110 ft. to a maximum of 1100 ft (instead of the usual x5 maximum range).  It can be reloaded as a full-round action (or a move action with [[SRD:Rapid Reload|Rapid Reload]]), and counts as a siege weapon.  The ballista and user are immobile and fixed in a single direction (which they may fire anywhere within a cone shaped arc), but may turn 360 degrees in place as a move action.  While in ballista form the user is denied their [[Dex]] modifier to AC, but has 50% cover, with any missed attacks going for the gaea siegebow.  Returning from ballista form is also a 1 round action.

The gaea siegebow (in both forms) has hardness 5 and 50 hp.  It is unusually durable, and recovers 1 hp a round while in ballista form.
