Introduction
Bows are the standard ranged weapon. They are inexpensive and can have larger supplies of ammunition than alternative weapons, but their accuracy and damage suffer with low proficiency. Their ammunition consists of Arrows. They are unusable without them.
Stats
- Name: The name of the bow.
- Base Price: Is a illustrative price. It will be available in the marketplace for a higher price than this and sold for lower than this.
- The buying and selling price is influenced by the city and the trade skill, as well as the modifiers.
- Weight: The weight only serves to encumber the wielder.
- Damage:
- Pierce (p): Piercing weapons have higher armor penetration than cutting weapons without losing as much effectiveness against lightly armored targets compared to blunt weapons.
- Speed rating: This shows the rate of fire and reload speed of the bow.
- Missile Speed: This determines how fast fired projectiles will travel. Higher rating will increase the distance a missile can travel and the chances of it bypassing a blocking defender's shield. This has a slight effect on accuracy, as the faster the projectile travels, the harder to be dodged/blocked.
- Requires draw: The level of draw the player/companion needs to be able to equip the bow.
