Crossbow

A crossbow is a sturdy ranged arm that is most often used as a weapon. While the crossbow is a complex and heavy contraption, its mechanism produces an incredible stopping power and piercing capability. A crossbow is slow to reload, and requires a lot of strength and skill.

Bolts are used as ammunition when discharging a crossbow. Bolts are too short to be used in either long- or shortbow. In a similar fashion, arrows do not fit into a crossbow's firing mechanism. A bolt's sturdy and short nature makes it ideal for close-range artillery purposes, but as an equipoise the bolt's characteristics make it unreliable and inaccurate at long ranges. The damage is comparatively higher to that of an arrow fired from a regular bow.
