Ranged Weapons & Projectiles

Ranged weapons such as longbows and crossbows are very common among the city and not always used for combat. Royal hunts require that you use archery weapons only. Inexpensive and yet effective, ranged weapons are handy on the frontlines for attacking and doing considerable damage to any enemy not within the immediate vacinity. Not all weapons cause health damage and for this reason (also for a cheap laugh) we've encluded projectiles --- the kind that loses one social points instead of health points.

Ranged Weapons
Weapon Description Ammo Description
Longbow The longbow is six feet long and fashioned from the wood of a yew tree. It would take a strong man to take full advantage of the bow's power, for the bow string is highly taught even now. A soft leather grip is tied to the centre of the bow. Arrow

Beautifully straight, this arrow has been whittled from the toughened wood of an ancient tree with the best stiff gease feathers for a flight. The arrow tip is crafted from steel and is deadly sharp. The result is a potentially lethal projectile.

Directions on use:
To use the longbow you must first WIELD LONGBOW, then DRAW LONGBOW. Be sure you're carrying the correct ammo for a longbow. You then must AIM target. Once your target is properly aimed at, you then SHOOT target.
Crossbow The crossbow is a sturdy weapon with a powerful winding mechanism which is gives it more power than any other hand-held device. The bow is loaded by winding the torque based cocking device on the front. It is heavy, and sits in a mans arm. Bolt
This small but lethal bolt is made from thicker wood than an arrow, for it will be launched with greater force. The bolt is tipped with steel and is deadly sharp.
Directions on use:
To use the crossbow you must first WIELD CROSSBOW, then COCK CROSSBOW. Be sure you're carrying the correct ammo for a crossbow. You then must AIM target. Once your target is properly aimed at, you then SHOOT target.
