Dead wood bow

Dead Wood give melee damage to bows
-
That is because Dead Wood gives a melee bonus, reguardless of what u use it for. Just as Yew wood gives accuracy, Birch wood gives Luck and Chestnut wood gives Magic Damage. Hover over the Chestnut wood and u will see that it will give the bow a +% magic damage. +10000% of 0 is still 0 tho. it is up to you to choose the wood u want to use. @Prometheus one thing I'd like to know: Why is there no Ranged Damage Bonus? Luck and Accuracy are still useful for Mage of Melee Builds, but Magic and Melee also have their own special bonus typed wood.

I think the point is, why even make it an option to build a bow from a wood that has no use for a bow (same for any other item).
-
@kellewic Maybe for when you need to use that bow as a quarterstaff or a club?

Or damage to yourself from forearm string burn

Who knows, maybe they will introduce a bow with blades on the end of it, that you CAN use as a melee weapon.... or a magic bow that doesn't consume arrows, but mana instead.
