Crossbows

A crossbow is a mechanical force weapon used by the Dalmer and some of the other races. A crossbow is a ranged weapon using an elastic launching device consisting of a bow-like assembly called a prod, mounted horizontally on a main frame called a tiller, which is hand-held in a similar fashion to the stock of a long firearm. Crossbows shoot arrow-like projectiles called bolts. A person who shoots crossbow is called an arbalist.
