Wan needs this.

Off hand, if the ammo is actually spears, not arrows, does that mean its ammo is resuable, and subsequently full price and not 1/50th price?

Why does it seem familiar?

Just for curiosity; is the weapon based on the Dragon Age series of games? Origins has a similar-named weapon, and the image posted looks suspiciously close to the graphics of the second game.

It'd be pretty frightening to see this on the hands of an Arrow Demon...speaking of which, do they get something special when using these mammoth weapons?

The image is actually from Dark Soul. Although the bow does look like bows from Dragon Age: Origin, altough not as big and they don't actually fire spear (to my deepest sadness). Also what is an arrow demon? A monster from one of the MM?--Leziad (talk) 01:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, there IS one bow in Origins called Spear-Thrower, so it made me think of it. Certainly, it doesn't shoot actual spears (the game doesn't have spears), but it's one of the strongest bows around.
As for the Arrow Demon, it's on one of the Monster Manuals indeed. Not sure if the 3rd or the 4th. It can dual-wield bows, having four arms and the ability to actually fire with both bows. T.G. Oskar (talk) 07:13, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Then it probably going to be pretty mean, assuming he can sink a feat in exotic weapon prof. --Leziad (talk) 04:44, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
