[MOD Request] Legendary Bow ''Lightning Spear''

[darkanendragon]

I would like to make a legendary bow that came from my 5e DnD campaign into BG3. It has been created by my DM and I really loved this bow. Not only I would like to add this bow in the game, but also have his own model.

 

To resume : Its a draconic lightning bow, pretty unique by itself which you need a glove to be able to use it without risk. It is called ''Lightning Spear'', which I found weird and funny that a draconic weapon was simply called that. So we technically renamed it ''Maruxner'' (which mean Lightning Spear in draconic language), but in the end we continued to calling it Lightning Spear.

 

The bow doesn't have a string, because it form its own string made of lightning (thats why it came with a glove). And when you pull the string, it create an arrow made of lightning that you shoot (so yeah you couldn't put any arrow on it). It also had an unique ability : If you wield it with your right hand (which you wear the glove), it create a very long lightning arrow that stay on the bow, which can be used as a one-handed spear to fight melee (which explain its name :laugh: )

 

This is how I think it could be made in BG3:

 

-Glove that goes with the bow : The bow inflict you with the statut ''Shocked'', and the gauntlet (which can be legendary too) give you immunity to shocked statut.

 

-Shooting with a arrow made of lightning : Switch its normal attack with the spell ''Lightning Arrow'', but without casting or anything, so it actually become this normal attack.

 

-Turn into a melee weapon : Give an ability that let you summon a melee weapon, which is the bow itself with a lightning effect in it.

 

-We could add some lightning charge effects on the bow and gauntlet for the theme.

 

For the appearance: Of what my DM described me (of what I remember), it has bronze dragon heads on each end of the bow (from which the lightning forming the string come from). The rest of the bow has the appearance of the dragon's neck and has folded wings. I will try to make a drawing of the bow.

 

There is a bigger lore about it which can be used for its description, but I will have to ask my DM because I don't fully remember (yes, he is crazy when it come in making such thing :laugh: . Always told me ''when you make something legendary, do a legendary work to make it worth it''). When I get it, I will post it here with probably a drawing.

 

So yeah its quite a big thing. I will try myself to make it, but I never made a mod in my life. If someone want to make it, I would be very happy and contribute (that wouldn't stop me to learn how to mod though :happy: )
