=== Properties ===
# Moonlit Precision (Evocation): The Crescent Moon Shotbow grants a +3 item bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. Additionally, on a critical hit, the target is dazzled for 1 minute. This dazzling effect bypasses any immunity to the condition.
# Lunar Guidance (Divination): Once per day, you can call upon the power of the moon to guide your shot. For the next minute, you gain the benefits of true strike on all attack rolls made with the Crescent Moon Shotbow. This ability does not require a free hand to activate.
# Phases of the Moon (Conjuration): The bow can generate magical arrows that change properties depending on the current phase of one of the moons:
#* New Moon: The arrow deals an additional 2d6 negative energy damage.
#* Crescent Moon: The arrow deals an additional 2d6 force damage and has the ghost touch property.
#* Half Moon: The arrow deals an additional 2d6 cold damage and can freeze the target in place; the target must succeed at a DC 32 Fortitude save or be slowed 1 for 1 round.
#* Full Moon: The arrow deals an additional 2d6 radiant damage and can blind the target; the target must succeed at a DC 32 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1 round.
# Lunar Shield (Abjuration): Three times per day, you can activate the bow to create a shield of moonlight around you. This grants you a +2 status bonus to AC and saving throws for 1 minute. Additionally, any creature that strikes you with a melee attack during this time takes 2d6 radiant damage.
# Moonbeam Arrow (Evocation): Once per day, you can fire a special moonbeam arrow. This arrow creates a beam of radiant energy that deals 6d6 radiant damage in a 60-foot line. Creatures in the line can make a DC 32 Reflex save for half damage. Undead creatures that fail their save are also stunned 1 for 1 round.
=== Usage ===
The Crescent Moon Shotbow is an exceptional weapon for archers who seek the aid of lunar magic in their endeavors. It is particularly favored by those who hunt undead or creatures of darkness, as its abilities are attuned to harnessing the power of the moon against such foes.

The darkwood used in its construction must be harvested from a forest blessed by lunar spirits, and the silver inlays must be made from silver mined during a lunar eclipse.
