Int 10, Ego 15

Roger is a bow with an attitude.  He doesn't like anyone to have
any other bow than himself.  He has 50 charges in a 24 hour period, he
resets at midnight.  He is a strength bow as long as he has charges left.

does not fire normal arrows unless it has no charges left.

limitations: - can only be fired three times per round, unless the
                arrow of speed option is used.
              -has only 50 charges per day, after which it acts like
                a normal, non-strength bow.
              -if the bow has not expended all charges but the wielder
                wishes to fire a +0 arrow, the bow still acts like a
                strength bow.
              -if a power of the bow is called on and the arrow misses,
                the charges are wasted.
