Current Behaviour
The Composite Longbow +2 properties are given as

THAC0 +3
Damage +1

Expected Behaviour
The Composite Longbow +2 should have instead
THAC0 +3
Damage +4

This concerns both the description and the actual properties.

    I am glad I looked at the item description before blindly buying this in the black pits...there is no reason whatsoever to get the +2 bow when the +1 bow is so much better.

    The +2 Composite Bow's damage is +1.

    As the ordinary Composite Bow's damage bonus is +2, and the +1's is +3, one would expect the +2 Composite Bow to be +4 damage.

    Alternatively, if Ranged Weaponry isn't supposed to boost missile damage (the +2 Longbow in Black Pits doesn't), then one would still expect the +2 Composite Bow to be +2 damage.

    I think I saw a post where staff acknowledged awareness of this problem and hopefully it will be fixed.

    If you can't wait for a patch and are familiar with Near Infinity, you can rectify this yourself.
