LEGACY RITUALS
Three rituals are required to unlock all the abilities of the Simple Bow. The Arrow is the Master: You must hit three targets with the Simple Bow while blindfolded and at a distance beyond 100 feet. If you fail to strike even one target, the ritual fails. Cost: 1,500 gp. Feat Granted: Least Legacy (Simple Bow). Finding the Master Within: You have to eat a hallucinogenic blend of plants and poisons prepared by a druid. The concoction costs 1,000 gp. After eating the mixture, you must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save. Failure on the save is failure at the ritual and also subjects you to a coma lasting 1d6 days. Cost: 11,000 gp. Feat Granted: Lesser Legacy (Simple Bow). The Wind Always Returns: You are required to make a journey on foot back to a home that you have left behind. This might be your place of birth, distant ancestral lands, or even a place you first called home. Cost: 39,000 gp. Feat Granted: Greater Legacy (Simple Bow).
