Overview
Crossbows are a projectile weapon (class 4) similar to a Bow. Unlike a bow, the "bow" (prod) of a crossbow is mounted horizontally onto a stock and the string, when drawn, is locked in a trigger mechanism.
Due to the fact that they cannot be half drawn (since they have only one draw position), crossbows in Belegarth are held to a much lower maximum poundage, making them difficult to find and construct and of little utility compared to a bow. There are some people experimenting with alternative rules and designs for crossbows to make them a more playable weapon while still being safe, but for the moment they are very rarely seen on the field.
