Crossbow
From AmtWiki
A type of [projectile|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|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|Archer] and 6th level [Scouts|Scout] may use two handed crossbows. Hand crossbows may be used by Archers, Scouts, [Barbarians|Barbarian], [Assassins|Assassin] and [Druids|Druid] (if they pay for it).
