Some say the bow’s whispers are the voices of past wielders, guiding the archer’s aim.

Quiver Compatibility: The Whispering Longbow is the only bow that can fire arrows from the Verdant Quiver;

Whispering Strike: Once per short rest, the Whispering Longbow can unleash a Whispering Strike, causing the next arrow fired to deal an additional 2d6 psychic damage. This strike is accompanied by a ghostly, whispering sound that distracts and unnerves the target, giving them disadvantage on their next attack roll.

• Set Item: The Whispering Longbow is one part of the Wayfarer’s Bind set, which includes the Verdant Quiver, Shifting Blade, and Living Sheath.
• Unified Attunement: Attuning to any piece of the Wayfarer’s Bind automatically attunes the full set, requiring only one attunement slot. This synchronized attunement enhances the connection between the items and their wielder.
• Set Synergy: When the full set is attuned, the Ranger gains extended teleportation range and extra damage with the Shifting Blade after teleportation. The set’s combined magic also gives the Ranger a spectral, nature-bound presence.
