When you nock an arrow on this bow, it whispers in Elvish, "Swift defeat to my enemies." When you use this weapon to make a ranged attack, you can, as a command phrase, say, "Swift death to you who have wronged me." The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn seven days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one after the next dawn.
When you make a ranged attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have advantage on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from cover, other than total cover, and you suffer no disadvantage due to long range. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra 3d6 piercing damage.
While your sworn enemy lives, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with all other weapons.
Proficiency with a Longbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Slow. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to it, you can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. If the creature is hit more than once by weapons that have this property, the Speed reduction doesn’t exceed 10 feet.
Notes: Damage: Piercing, Damage, Combat, Bane, Ammunition, Heavy, Range, Two-Handed, Slow
It would be because the bow is magical.
"In addition, your target gains no benefit from cover, other than total cover, and you suffer no disadvantage due to long range."
Me with Sharpshoot: soo this is preatymuch useles
keep in mind that in a regular dnd campaign 7 days ingame can be a loooong time out of game. So make sure you only mark an enemy you know for certain is gonna die
It's funny that y'all accidentally added the 2024 mastery property of "Slow" to the 2014 Legacy version of this weapon. I wonder how long it will take anyone to notice and fix it.
