You can use a composite shortbow while mounted. All composite bows are made with a particular strength rating (that is, each requires a minimum [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier to use with proficiency). If your [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] bonus is lower than the strength rating of the composite bow, you canβt effectively use it, so you take a β2 penalty on attacks with it. The default composite shortbow requires a [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier of +0 or higher to use with proficiency. A composite shortbow can be made with a high strength rating to take advantage of an above-average [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] score; this feature allows you to add your [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] bonus to damage, up to the maximum bonus indicated for the bow. Each point of [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] bonus granted by the bow adds 75 gp to its cost. For purposes of [[SRD:Weapon Proficiency|weapon proficiency]] and similar [[SRD:Feats|feats]], a composite shortbow is treated as if it were a shortbow. ===Enhancements=== {{Weapon Material Enhancements |weap=Composite Shortbow |material=Wood |cost=75 gp |mwkcost=375 gp |hard=5 |hp=5 |dwcost=395 gp |dwhard=5 |dwhp=5 |dccost=1,075 gp |dchard=10 |dchp=15 |mchard=8 |mchp=12 }} {{Magical/Psionic Weapon Enhancements}}<noinclude> ===See Also=== *[[SRD:Weapon Qualities]] *[[Magic Items: Weapons (SRD Rules)]] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_bow Wikipedia: Composite Bow] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_%28weapon%29 Wikipedia: Bow] {{SRD Weapon Footer}} [[Category:Martial Weapon|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Two-Handed Weapon|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Projectile Weapon|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Ranged Weapon|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Piercing Weapon|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Bow|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] </noinclude>
