The echo of the snowcaster Jelarial causes Wintershot to become chill to the touch, yet despite feeling as cold as ice, she never causes harm or discomfort to her partner. Wintershot's string issues a soft hissing sound, as of snow softly falling, and snowflakes drift down from the string and swiftly melt each time the bow is fired. Wintershot's voice is eager and excitable, often waxing poetic on a nearby object or creature of beauty or offering compliments to her partner.
Wintershot is a +3 major striking greater frost holy composite shortbow. When making a Strike with Wintershot, targets don't gain concealment from the effects of mist or precipitation, and circumstance penalties to attacks imparted from strong winds are negated.
