# Oathbow *Very rare (requires attunement)*  When you nock an arrow on this bow, it whispers in Elvish, "Swift defeat to my enemies." When you use this weapon to make a ranged attack, you can utter or sign the following command words: "Swift death to you who have wronged me." The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn 7 days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one after the next dawn. When you make a ranged attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have [Advantage](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/advantage-xphb.md) on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from [Half Cover](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cover-xphb.md) or [Three-Quarters Cover](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cover-xphb.md), and you suffer no [Disadvantage](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/disadvantage-xphb.md) due to long range. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra `3d6` Piercing damage. While your sworn enemy lives, you have [Disadvantage](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/disadvantage-xphb.md) on attack rolls with all other weapons. **Variants**: - [Oath Longbow](#Oath%20Longbow) - [Oath Shortbow](#Oath%20Shortbow) ### Oath Longbow - **Damage**: 1d8 piercing - **Range**: 150/600 - **Properties**: [Ammunition](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Ammunition), [Heavy](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Heavy), [Two-Handed](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Two-Handed) - **Weight**: 2.0 lbs. ### Oath Shortbow - **Damage**: 1d6 piercing - **Range**: 80/320 - **Properties**: [Ammunition](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Ammunition), [Two-Handed](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Two-Handed) - **Weight**: 2.0 lbs. *Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 282.
