BOWS & CROSSBOWS
Bows and crossbows are good weapons for lightly armed or less muscular travelers. A skilled archer can fire off arrows from a great distance away or behind cover, avoiding the danger of close combat. However, it does take great strength to draw the deadlier of these weapons — turning the crank on the heavy crossbow is no easy task. |
