This bow has words in giant scrawled across it detailing an old myth of "rods from gods" destroying the foes of giant-kind.
The tower drop bow is a +1 longbow that automatically adjusts to the strength of its user as a composite longbow. You can choose to shoot your arrows in a large arc that requires an open sky to work after choosing which square to attack. When you fire you can choose a delay up to 5 rounds, after which the arrow drops upon the targeted square with a normal attack roll against any creatures within the square. However, for each round delayed the effective size of the attack goes up by one dealing the appropriate (to a maximum of Colossal). For example a Medium bow (1d8) becomes a colossal attack in only 4 rounds (6d6). In addition attacks of effective Huge size now can target up to a 10 ft square, Gargantuan up to 15 ft, and Colossal up to 20 ft, making a single attack and damage roll against all creatures in the area once. Effective Huge and larger attacks done with this method are considered area effects for the purpose of interacting with swarms, and siege attacks.
Because it takes at least 1 round for even one effective size increase, this ability is best used on targets that are immobile or who can be goaded into the area.
