I am curious if they count as a magic weapon, for purposes of bypassing shields.

I haven't been getting the right races and gems for testing out bows in MP, though I'm very curious myself. If I find the time, I'll investigate myself.

I had an assassin type character with that feebleminding bow and heroic precision. Prophet also, but died fast enough against skellyspamming, bodyguarded Ctis necromancer. I do wonder if there's any priority targeting or purely random. I don't think I was clever enough to fire rear, because I was expecting a finite number of bodyguards.

I'll get another chance eventually, and will continue experimenting. I'll let you know if I figure something.

What I'm probably going to try next is a few standard indie commanders set to the front with a few bodyguards and fire rear orders. None of the races I've been playing with have cavalry, but seeing how devastating (and hard to hit) Tien Chi's sacred mounted archers are...
