I stomped into the enchanter’s shop, me boots clackin’ on the warped floorboards. The bloke behind the counter looked up, all fancy robes and spectacles, like he’d never seen a proper goblin before. “Oi, wiz,” I barked, slappin’ a fistful of gold on the counter. “I need a bo staff. Proper enchanted! None o’ that cheap sparkly rubbish.” He nodded, all solemn-like, and muttered some hocus-pocus while wavin’ his hands over a length of oak.
When he handed it over, I gave it a test swing. A lil’ heavy, but I weren’t ’bout to look weak. But then I noticed somethin’ odd. The staff bent in me grip, twistin’ into a sleek bow, a shimmerin’ arrow poppin’ into existence like magic. “Wot’s this, then?” I squawked. “I said a bo staff, not a bleedin’ bow staff!” The enchanter blinked. “Ah. My apologies. No refunds.” Bloody ponce.
I was ready to chuck the thing at his face, but then I thought, “Why not give it a go?” I nocked the magic arrow, pulled back, and let fly. Thwip! The arrow buried itself in the wall, then vanished in a puff of sparkles. I grinned. “Alright, mate, this might ‘ave its uses.” The enchanter sighed in relief, like he’d just dodged a dagger in a back alley.
Now I’m roamin’ the streets, whackin’ thugs with me staff one minute, plinkin’ arrows at ‘em the next. Turns out, the posh twit did me a favor. Still, next time, I’m bringin’ a dictionary. Or maybe just a club. For ‘im loaf.
Bow Staff
Weapon (Longbow, Staff), Uncommon
This weapon can swap forms between a longbow and staff, chosen whenever you make an attack with it. It has the finesse weapon property. After swapping the weapon’s form, your next successful hit with this weapon before the end of your next turn deals an additional 1d6 force damage. When in bow form, each time you pull your arm back in a firing motion, a magical arrow appears nocked and ready to fire.
