Dungeons And Dragons Online: More Arrows and Bolts of Bane & Slaying!!

Samera has posted an enhancement currently in testing for DDO

Background

Bane Arrows / Bane Bolts: A bane weapon excels at attacking one type or subtype of creature. Against that type of creature, the weapon's effective enhancement bonus is +2 better than its normal enhancement bonus and it deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against the foe.

Greater Bane Arrows / Greater Bane Bolts: A bane weapon excels at attacking one type or subtype of creature. Against that type of creature, the weapon's effective enhancement bonus is +4 better than its normal enhancement bonus and it deals an extra 3d6 points of damage against the foe. Please note: there is a known issue where the text description says that Greater Bane items have a +2 bonus instead of +4. This is a text error only and will be fixed for the Twilight Forge Module.

Slaying Arrows / Slaying Bolts: These arrows and bolts are keyed to specific types or subtypes of creatures. If they strike such a creature, the target must make a Difficulty Check 20 Fortitude save or die (or, in the case of nonliving targets, be destroyed) instantly.

Problem: Variety and Supply

Currently there are only a few types of Bane, Greater Bane, and Slaying arrows and bolts in the game (Reptilian Bane, Elemental Bane etc.). Additionally, these specialty missiles are hard to obtain, as they are a random reward from a limited number of Collectors.

Solution

We are increasing the variety of Bane/Greater Bane/Slaying arrows and bolts. We are adding Undead Bane, Ooze Bane, Construct Bane, and many many more.

We are also adding Bane/Greater Bane/Slaying arrows and bolts to the loot tables for chests. This should significantly increase the amount of bane missiles available on the market.
