Description:

This Repeating Light Crossbow +2 has an stock designed to fit over the entire hand and arm of the wielder, locking into place. The Armbow only functions once locked, which requires a standard action to pick up or put down, but does not provoke. Once wielded, it is capable of creating up to 20 bolts per day that instantly appear in the Armbow, as needed while the repeating crossbow is being fired. While the Armbow cannot take bolts from other sources, it does have the ability to create additional bolts beyond the normal 20 bolts per day, but at the cost of 1 hit point per bolt, drawn from the wielder. The wielder also has the option to spend 3 hit points to align a single bolt that is already created or being created, as per Align Weapon, so long as the chosen alignment does not conflict with the wielder's alignment (law vs. chaos, good vs. evil).

All options to create bolts are done as made before the attack roll and are part of the attack action. The hit point damage bypasses any resistance or damage reduction, but is otherwise healed as normal. The Armbow does not grant proficiency with the repeating light crossbow.

Construction Requirements: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Align Weapon, Reloading Hands

Construction Cost: 12,825 gp
