’The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.’ The new limit placed on crossbows makes very little sense, for, what would happen were the user to encounter a target at 500m while slowing time with an already loaded crossbow and after firing was noticed and the other person made a long post about how they noticed the person shooting and rushed up the enitre distance using a single post? Would somone using a crossbow only be able to get off a single shot before the distance was closed? If they were using an arbalest and are unskilled at reloading it, that's quite possible, but what if they were using a light crossbow/chu-ko-nu? (Which had a rate of fire of up to 2 bolts a second, but that's without aiming and not including the time it takes to reload the clip when it was emptied) Would they only be capable of a single shot? It would make sense to use the same standards for crossbows as we use for bows. Use your own initative as to what's realistic. Because, an arbalest with a similar reloading time to a chu-ko-nu seems really weird/wrong to me, and so does the variable reloading times ie: When posts become more focused upon small actions rather than a straight out run it takes but a second to load a crossbow, whereas when posts are something as skipped over as watching someone sleep, doing so can take hours.

I forgot to mention that in order to use ranged weapons of any kind, your character first has to do a small jig on a dead badger, then cut off their own foot with a stale biscuit. This must be repeated every time the character wishes to fire a shot. |

Using carcasses as stepping stones.

Not everyone is a weapons expert. The shops are basic for a reason. Just buy a friggin crossbow and RP with it. |
