DESCRIPTION

This combination of an instrument and shortbow is hard to use by most musicians and hunters, but in the hands of a Bard it can be dangerous as both. While the weapon is called a Harp-Bow some people may change the instrument for a similar string one, like a Violin. While using the Harp-Bow the wielder may choose to play a song, or fire an arrow as if by a shortbow. However, due to the combination of tools you take a -2 to performance and attack rolls with this instrument weapon. A masterwork version will reduce both of these to -1, while magical enhancements made to the bow increase that to a bonus, with a +5 enhancement this would give a +3 enhancement bonus to performance rolls made with the Harp-Bow.
