Gem Bow (Magic Bow)

Created long ago by a prestigious halfling bowyer and the Archmage Bendalyre, gem bows were developed to help halfling societies combat their enemies. Over the years, the gem bows have disappeared from halfling realms. They are now lost and all but forgotten by the race that created them. All are bows +1, of excellent craftsmanship, and have the ability to gain additional powers. On the face of each bow is an indentation above the handgrip. If certain gemstones are set into this notch, the bow is then capable of bestowing one of three special powers on any arrow fired. Arrows must be nonmagical to gain these powers.
Roll 	Gem Type	Effect
01-06	Diamond 	Normal damage +10 hp electric shock.
07-13	Ruby 	Normal damage +10 hp fire damage.
14-00	Sapphire	Normal damage +10 hp cold damage.
A gem bow gains one charge per 200 gp value of the gem. Gems set into a gem bow decrease in value by 200 gp as each charge is used, eventually becoming normal stones (or dust) with the expiration of their charges. These bows function normally with respect to range and rate of fire.
