Is there another book that talks about elvencraft bows? In the RoW book it only says that shortbows and longbows can be made elvencraft, but what I am looking for is to make a composite longbow elvencraft. Is that even possible?

Is that even possible?Composite bows are subtypes of short- and longbows, and thus qualify for elvencraft.

Thank you. So the next question is:

Does anyone remember if there is a feat that when fighting with a staff you can't be flanked? I remember reading something like that but it could be PF or maybe a special type of staff. I am looking for only 3.5

You're probably thinking of the Longstaff from Complete Adventurer. If you fight defensively with a longstaff or sink at least two BAB into Combat Expertise while using it, you can't be flanked.

If you want a feat that makes you immune to flanking, then take Shape Soulmeld: Threefold Mask of the Chimera.

Or the Eyes in the Back of your Head feat or what ever it's called. Can't remember what book it's in exactly at the moment.

Sword & Fist. Requires Wis 19, BAB +3.

Sword & Fist. Requires Wis 19, BAB +3.The version in Complete Warrior is better, because the requirements are only Wis 13 and BAB +1, while giving the exactly same benefit, while also specifying that you can still be sneak-attacked.

That doesn't sound better to me.

Isn't avoiding Sneak Attack the number one reason to not want to be flanked? :smallconfused:

It's just being mentioned in Complete Warrior so that there's no confusion about it.

Eh, as I recall the eyes on the back of your head feat does not keep one from being flanked, rather it merely removes the +2 bonus on attack rolls.
