Hellrider Longbow

Hellrider Longbow is an uncommon +1 Longbow that grants the wielder a large bonus to Initiative and Advantage on Perception checks. It may also apply Faerie Fire to a creature on a successful attack.

This longbow was forged from the remnants of Stanislav the Silver's shield, found near the wreckage of ⁠Castle Ravenloft some years ago.

Where to find

• Rivington X: 43 Y: -101: Sold by  Ferg Drogher near the Requisitioned Barn

Notes

•  Ferg Drogher does not sell any items (including this one) if  Shadowheart is in the party, unless she killed  The Nightsong earlier in Act Two.

Regarding Fiendish Fire:

• Faerie Fire condition is only applied for one turn, and is removed at the start of the target's next turn, effectively being only useful on the turn it is applied.

Bugs

Regarding Fiendish Fire:

• While the Fiendish Fire saving throw triggers on all damage dealt by the wielder (including spells and other weapons), the effect is only actually applied if the damage originates from this specific weapon. If the target fails the save against a spell or a different melee attack, the status effect will not be inflicted.
