Rilthwood

Weapon (Composite bow) or (arrow), uncommon

Rilthwood trees have stark white bark and shiny, broad green leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn a brilliant red. Every Rilthwood tree has a unique swirl to its grain. The wood absorbs stain easily, highlighting the natural swirls of the grain. The stains applied typically make Rilthwood bows unique to their owner. Kings often equip their troops with bows stained in the color of their coat of arms. Nobility and adventurers often commission skilled artisans to stain Rilthwood bows with patterns and symbols. Arrows made from Rilthwood also absorb stain, and they seldom snap or splinter unless scoring a deep strike.

Composite bows made from Rilthwood are expert items and their range increment is increased by 20 feet. Because of their hardness, if a character spends one minute searching the battlefield they can recover 90% of all Rilthwood arrows.
