Crossbow

Crossbow is one of the combat skills in The Age of Decadence.

Like the bow, the crossbow is a deadly ranged weapon. And, while it lacks the speed, accuracy and range of the bow, the crossbow makes up for that in pure striking power. At close range, a crossbow bolt can hit hard enough to knock an opponent off his feet.

See here for a list of crossbows.

Skill Level

 * 1) Aim in the general direction and pull the trigger? Got it!

 * 5) You're getting the hang of it. Keep it up and you might become a good crossbowman one day.
