Powerbows

Beautifully ornate weapons, powerbows are to bows what daiklaves are to swords. These weapons are made from a laminate of horn, rare woods and the five magical materials. Crafted by the Exalted for their own hands, these baroque and ornate bows far overmatch any merely mortal weapon. Like daiklaves, powerbows must be invested with Essence to function—otherwise their mighty limbs are too stiff for even the mightiest of the Chosen to bend. Unlike normal bows, powerbows do not have a maximum Strength. They are linked with the Essence of the firing character, and their construction is such that they yield to those who are weak and stiffen when their wielder is mighty. Instead, they add to the user's Strength for the purposes of determining damage.

Ranged Use of the Five Magical Materials

Artifact powerbows and thrown weapons are designed to contain one of the five magical materials, whether as layered inlays or for the entire construction. When attuned by an Exalted of the correct type, such weapons are even more efficient and deadly.

Orichalcum: Orichalcum ranged weapons excel at no one thing, but are excellent all-around weapons. When in the hands of the Solar Exalted, these weapons are +1 to Accuracy, +1 to Damage and +50 yards to their Range value for bows (10 yards for thrown weapons).
Moonsilver: Moonsilver ranged weapons are fluid things, reshaping themselves as they are drawn or cast in order to more effectively launch toward their target. In the hands of the Lunar Exalted, such weapons are +1 to Accuracy and add 100 yards to their Range value for bows (20 yards for thrown weapons).
Jade: Jade powerbows and thrown weapons allow their wielders to fire with the fluid grace of falling water, and their trajectory is buoyed by the natural eddies of the wind. In the hands of the Terrestrial Exalted, they benefit Speed with a -1 bonus and add 50 yards to the Range value for bows (10 yards for thrown weapons).
Starmetal: Starmetal ranged weapons reshape the destiny of their path, fating them to strike deadly blows. When in the hands of Sidereal Exalted, these weapons add +1 to Accuracy and +2 to Damage.
Soulsteel: Soulsteel missile weapons can sense the life and movement of their targets and seek to cease that struggling to bring about the blessed stillness of death. When used against living targets by Abyssal Exalted, these weapons are +2 Accuracy and +2 Damage. This bonus does not apply to inanimate objects, nor animate but nonliving ones.
