| II. BECOMING
A WARRIOR MAGE E. ARMOR AND WEAPONS Ranged Weapons: Short Bow: A small bow, very easy to load, and accurate at close range. Don't be fooled by the name... it can do a lot of damage in the right hands. Long Bow: A large bow, slightly harder to load then the short bow, but with more accuracy at further ranges and a bit more "oomph" in the hit. Composite Bow: Roughly the same size as a long bow, but made of different materials laminated together for extra strength and springiness. Though this makes it harder to load, the extra damage it can cause is worth it. Light Crossbow: The ranged weapon of choice. They are hard to load but deadly accurate in close ranges and just as deadly in hitting power. All crossbows take a long time to load, but they can be worn already loaded. Heavy Crossbow: Heavy crossbows are heavier, more powerful, and even more difficult to load. They are not as common as the lighter model but just as deadly if not deadlier in properly trained hands. This weapon is more than capable of putting a bolt cleanly through a fully armored warrior. |
