Use

Section titled “Use”

It shoots from the arrow quiver at its man’s hip: no arrow quiver, no shots. Shorter and weaker than a longbow, but quicker, and it can be shot from the saddle. Traders keep half as many as of other weapons. A man with any bow, crossbow or javelins is ranged, or ranged cavalry in the saddle.

Made from

Section titled “Made from”

A common piece takes 1 kg of timber, 1 kg of leather. A crude one takes 0.6 of that, a poor one three quarters, a fine one half again and a masterwork twice. Traders buy what they lack from the town’s market.
