Bows of speed were enchanted bows, popular among the thieves of Waterdeep circa 1370 DR.[1]
Powers[]
Various bows of speed looked utterly mundane but possessed a set of handy enchantments. Apart from a +1 enchantment, the bow's magic also pulled undamaged and non-magical arrows to the wielder from within 108 feet (32.9 meters) around it. Once the bowstring was pulled back, a random arrow in the area teleported unto to the wielder's hand, ready to be shot. This enchantment allowed for a dramatically increased fire rate.[2]
Some rare bows of speed were able to pull enchanted and magical arrows to the bowstring, as well as regular ones.[2]
History[]
In 1370 DR, Shadow Thieves returned to Waterdeep, operating from a secret stronghold within Undermountain. Many of their higher-ranking members were armed with bows of speed, making them swift and dangerous opponents to the adventuring folk and the hero known as the Khelbenite.[2]
