Crossbows should have a Strength rating, which governs how long it takes to reload them as well as the damage.īut really, a crossbow is not going to be comparable to a pull bow for an adventurer. Longbows should be exotic (they take years of practice), though not shortbows. When crossbows came out they changed the face of warfare not so much because they were better than the bow, but because now it was possible to have a large number of fairly competent ranged attacks. If I am building an army I can have a very small troop of archers, or I can equip a large portion of my troops with crossbows. The difference is that the fully trained archer is an elite trop, where the crossbowman is a common trop. In reality a fully trained archer is a lot more effective than a person using a crossbow. The way it is now just about anyone can use a crossbow and most characters can use bows. What they should have done is to make bows exotic weapons, and crossbows martial weapons. The problem is that means that almost any full marital character can use a bow. The game tries to simulate this by making bows marital weapons and crossbows simple weapons. Probably takes about a week to get someone up to speed with a crossbow. The crossbow on the other hand can be learned very quickly. As the saying goes to train a archer you start with his grandfather. To effectively use a bow requires a lot of training.
LIGHT CROSSBOW VS HAND CROSSBOW HOW TO
In real life the biggest difference between a bow and a crossbow is the amount of training it took to learn how to use it properly.
