Enhance Arrow feat doesn't seem to do anything - enhancement does not appear in the character sheet, nor extra damage appears to be applied.

Also not sure if this how it was meant to work, but you only get [Enhance Arrow +1] feat despite taking full 10 levels of AA.

As far as I understood the wiki right, doesn't seem like you are supposed to get more than +1 EB, different benefits also by levels, just not more EB.

Though if it isn't applied, that sounds like a bug. With what bow/arrows were you testing?

Ingame description says though

Tried with Alchemical Silver / Cold Iron / mundane arrows, and +5 (enhanced) / +5 attack / mundane longbow (+5 enhanced used for actual damage comparison)

You only get the first Enhance arrow feat, yes. The Arcane Archer description in game and out of game correctly notes this. I suppose the Enhance arrow feat needs a new description!

Also, Enhance Arrow is a default game (and possibly hardcoded) feat. NWN2 simply gives you +1 BAB/Damage. You won't see it on your arrows. It should show up on your character sheet though I don't know if it is marked as anything special. It might just be a +1 sneakily added in there for ranged weapons.
Do not hesitate to send me a PM if you:
- Have questions about building, or joining the Dev Team
- Want to join or start an event for the Mercykillers, Fated, or Signers
- You have been waiting more than 2 days for me to post in an IC forum thread

I think Arcane Archers need their +5 enchacement back otherwise that +1 perk really does nothing when most ingame magical bows come with +5.

Magical bow bonus doesn't override Arcane Archer enhance arrow. The base game Arcane Archer descriptions are in general misleading (in order to cover up the discrepancy between it and PnP, I suppose). Enhance Arrow is a bonus in addition to your arrow/bow bonuses.

NWN2 wikia explains this better:

Quote:
 

Enhance arrow
Beginning at 1st level, the arcane archer imbues every non-magical arrow they fire with an enhancement bonus. This bonus is +1 at 1st level, +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 5th level, +4 at 7th level, and +5 at 9th level (this adds to both attack bonus and damage dealt). Enhance arrow's enchantment bonus stacks with a magical bow's enhancement bonus. Therefore, for example, a +5 bonus on the arrow and a +3 bonus on the bow equals a +8 to attack and damage.
Note: This ability actually works with magical arrows as well. Essentially, as long as the Arcane Archer has a bow equipped, they will always be able to apply the entire bonus.


So Enhance Arrow +1 with a +5 bow is in fact +6.

Bit confused if the added AA enchancement is supposed to be +1 or +5 then?

Pretty sure the enhancement is not applied on AB

As for damage I don't think it works either although not 100% positive :o

What's really weird is that I'm getting STR damage bonus despite not having a mighty bow :o
