Crossbow

Crossbows are mechanized ranged weapons with a locking mechanism to keep the bowstring taut. All Attacks with a crossbow deal Piercing damage. However, your crossbow must be reloaded and cranked as a miscellaneous action after firing.

If you are attacked with a melee weapon while wielding a missile weapon, the attacker has favor against you.

Arrows and bolts

You must keep track of your arrows and bolts. They come in quivers of 12 per slot. Any arrow that hits a target is Destroyed (your opponent breaks off the shaft in combat, the bolt head is blunted on bone, etc.). Any arrow that misses may be recovered after the Challenge. Use the Fletch Arrows Camp Action to replace Destroyed arrows/bolts.
