War Archer Bows and Arrows

I have a few questions and suggestions.

The War Archer thing is a good idea, however, it bugs me that anyone can activate the item, but the bows they use have class restrictions. Why not let every class have access to the option if they're not:

Ranger
Rogue
Bard
Monk

Also I have a big problem with the +5 arrows. It's easy enough to grab a +5 shortbow for 13K gold. +5 arrows should still take 9 AA levels to obtain and not just cost 9K gold.

+5 arrows don't break DR, they just do +5 damage.

And what's the problem with having other classes use war archers? You can't take any stealth with it anyway.

Too prevent less mistakes and rebuilding from players? I dunno.

If +5 arrows don't break DR, then I don't have a problem with it. I assumed that since every arrow an AA shoots is +5, the same would go for any +5 arrow.

+5 arrows break DR. How do you think AA's enchanted arrow operates? If the arrow just has +5 damage on it, that's not +5 enchantment.

Yeah, I was right.

Damn, I guess it doesn't matter.

No, I was totally right.

No, I recently tested it, +5 arrows are not breaking DR.

AAs break it because they get +5 enchantment.

+5 ab or enchantment breaks DR not just +5 damage.

Last time I checked, arrows can't get a +5 enhancement bonus a la toolset. They can get a DAMAGE bonus, but not an enhancement bonus.

Now, arrows when used by an AA, on the other hand...

Arrows can't get enchantment or attack bonus due to the toolset. Bows can't get enchantment due to the same reason. AA's most likely have a special code to allow them.

If the arrow just has +5 damage on it, that's not +5 enchantment.

That's actually wrong Casas. You can just add +5 peircing damage which doesn't act like enchanment. On a bow (which is what the AA levels apply to) it works but directly to arrows it's not considered +5 unless the bow itself is also +5.

I believe it. I'm just referring what the AA description says about enchanting arrows, but it's obviously on the bow(s.)
