Bow Question regarding To-Hit

[Lushas]

Does the plus on the bow and the plus on the arrows stack, or are they combined with a cap of +5? For instance, a +3 bow and +3 arrows equals a +5 bonus to hit? or a +6? If it is combined, wouldn't that make a +2 bow the best you need if using +3 House D arrows? Just curious.

Enhancement bonuses overlap, damage bonuses stack.

Ex:
+5 bow and +2 arrows give +5 bonus. +1 bow and +3 arrows give +3 bonus.

However, Flaming bow + Holy arrows = 1d6 fire damage and 2d6 Holy bonus on each.

No, you only get the highest bonus; different bonuses will stack, however, e.g. fire arrows on a shock bow, but not shock arrows.

No, the bonus on the Arrows and the bonus on the Bow will NOT stack... the higher of the two bonues take precidence.

For example, a +1 bow with the +3 sturdy Deneith arrows is considered a +3 bonus.

You really should try to use a Shock bow and Shock arrows sometime. The results may shock you.
