I am having hard time understanding what Hurricane bow does

[Altheahill]

It says it increase size of my bow and increase damage, but does that mean medium bow become larger and hit harder? Can someone explain it to me in detail?
I got devouer of metal and does hurricane bow affect this weapon?

[Ursa]

yep. your bow increases one size to large (if you are a medium size char, goes to medium if you are a halfling or gnome). this increases the damage die one step. 1d6 becomes 1d8, 1d8 becomes 1d10, 1d10 becomes i belive 2d6.
a great combo is hurricane bow and the enlarge spell, takes your weapon up 2 steps making your bow very hardhitting (even though you loose some dex from the spell making you bigger).

[Malaficus Shaikan]

I basicly turns the bow you are using when casting the spell into a 2d6.
2d6 means 2 dice of six.
A 1d8 is 1 dice of 8.

This means any arrow that you fire from said bow while the enchantment is active has the ability to roll anwhere between 2 to 12 damage instead 1 to 8.

Basicly it makes your bow do more damage.

Oddly, it stacks with Enlarge Person.

Also, you do not suffer the attack penalty for using an oversized weapon, the spell says that it deals damage as if it were larger, the bow does not actually physically increase in size.

Nothing odd about that, works in PnP too. Enlarge makes the target and everything they have larger, hurricane bow just effects the bow. Enlarge takes you from medium to large, hurricane bow takes the large bow and makes it huge size as far as damage if my sizing is correct.

A valid tactic.

The same should work with the ranger's Lead Blades, tough there's not many oversized melee weapons, and non early as i recall. (Amiri's don't count)

[Mr.Drow]

Increase is from 1d8 to 2d6, 1d10 to 2d8. Use it with enlarge to get 2 size increases.

[BoMbY]

Devourer of Metal (oversized, 2d6 damage) + Enlarge Person + Hurricane Bow should give you 4d6 base damage (4-24), plus 2d6 acid damage (2-12), so a total of 6-36 damage (always +STR, +Feats, +Magic Bonus, etc.), on every hit.

For bows it should be:

Tiny: 1d4
Small: 1d6
Medium (base): 1d8
Large: 2d6
Huge: 3d6
Gargantuan: 4d6
Colossal: 6d6

Would be nice to find something to take the last +2d6 step ...

Greater enlarge person would do the trick then, it increases size by 2 stages

Spell is not in the game AFAIK.

[Entropie]

Well I can cast it so I know more than you :p

You might have a path with Huricane and Rightous Might (cleric) to get a Collossal Bow at 6d6 i do not know how to make an effective build though.
