A type of projectile weapon which can be used in Amtgard. Most of the rules that apply to Bows apply to crossbows.
Because a crossbow typically has a much shorter draw length than a bow, they can have greater poundage without exceeding the same limits.
A regular two-handed crossbow does four points of damage to armor. A hand crossbow, which is held with one hand and fired similar to a pistol, counts as a short bow and does only two points of damage.
Only Archers and 6th level Scouts may use two handed crossbows. Hand crossbows may be used by Archers, Scouts, Barbarians, Assassins and Druids (if they pay for it).
