Elven bow

An Elven bow is a ranged weapon which can be used in melee as a club or staff.

Description
A wondrous piece of art, elven bows are crafted mostly from wood, and beautifully designed. Elven crafters place metal inlays within the bow to strengthen it, making it a suitable parrying weapon.

Weaponology
Over the years, elves have found their archers are attacked without much chance to protect themselves. The elven bow can be used as a melee weapon, with an elven shortbow used as a one-handed melee weapon and an elven longbow acting like a two-handed melee weapon. These bows weigh twice more than regular bows, and elven shortbows cost 360 gp and elven longbows cost 450 gp.
