Compound Troll Sized Bow System

* Designed for you, the ultimate troll hunter
* uses the latest in strength-amplification technology to
increase its power-to-velocity ratio over the top!
* Sized for use by trolls!!!

The new Ranger X-T Compound Bow was designed just like the X version
but with trolls in mind. Normal bows do not take into account the extra arm
length of troll's arms nor do they account for the fact that many trolls are
twice the height of a normal human. Many trolls have complained that the
handle grip was to small and that they could only draw the bow back to
the elbow. The X-T also has precision XL arrows so that a troll may take
advantage of his or her full arm length.
Because of the extra arrow length and greater power behind the shot
the X-T has already defeated ALL previous long distance records for
arrow shots with easy.
The X-T bow also come with an enlarged Bow Accessory mount so that
any multitude of aditions can be added to the bow.

>>>>>[ I was impressed. The new X-L was so strong that I couldn't harldy
even pull back the string, yet Little John did it with ease. Not only that
but the bow had to stand about 2.3 meters tall. The arrows were huge, they
were as tall as me! at 2 metters tall they should be called spears!!.
Little John fell in love with the bow instanly, he just picked it up, did a full
draw ( something no ather bow has let him do) and shot it. It sunk so far
into the cement target that they had to put it out from the other
side]<<<<<

>>>>>[ It was awesome. This Troll steps out of the van with a bow that
is taller than me. He reached back in and grabbed an arrow that was my height!
Then he just pulled back a shot it at the Banshee!! The thing was, the arrow
went in!!! It must have hit the driver because the next thing I know the
Banshee was slammin into a building. The troll just got back into the van and
it pulled away.]<<<<<

my thought to calls against munchkin.
1 you don't have to use it. and you can tweek it

2 precision bow is str +4 M and a spear (pole arm) is str +3 S
so I figured it would be either 5+ or 6+ and went
with 6+ since the precision to the normal bow is +2 more

3 trolls have really long arms, yes they would have trouble
with normal bows because they would rather have a full draw
instead.

4 yes in the hands of a troll street samurai it could
pierce a Banshee - gee and its legal too!!

my other thoughts or lack there of.
1 this is to all those who won't scream munchkin ( I hope
there are a lot of you)
