Equipment, Weapon

A lighter mechanical bow firing light quarrels.

Also called Crossbow, Light

From the book

The light crossbow weighs 2 lb., deals 1-6 damage, needs a Strength of 7, and costs 10 G.P. Twenty light quarrels cost 1 G.P.

It has an effective range of 150 ft.; from there to 400 ft. is long range, where the non-proficiency penalty applies. Each +1 of enchantment on a magical crossbow extends its range by 10%. One dose of venom coats ten crossbow bolts, and a coating lasts only until the first successful hit on a target.
