• Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +3, 5 ranks of Perform (any string instrument), Point Blank Shot
• Benefits: You can fire arrows or bolts from a string instrument without penalty. Cellos, guitars, harps, mandolins, violas and violins can be used in this manner. Guitars, mandolins, violas and violins have a range increment of 10 ft., and projectiles launched from these instruments inflict 1d4 points of damage. Cellos and harps have a range increment of 20 ft., and projectiles launched from these instruments inflict 1d6 points of damage. A character must use both hands to properly fire the arrow. Unfortunately, because these items were not constructed for combat purposes, a natural ‘1’ on the attack roll automatically destroys the strings, rendering the instrument useless until repaired.
