Anyone (with str) can use it, but it is slow to reload.  It is a balance to the cav and dedicated range since anyone can use a ranged item this way.  Don't mess with it.

What are people's thoughts on this? I have started taking an unloomed Mace along with my xbow (its only 3 slots for arbalest and ammo). It weighs about the same as a 2nd bag of bolts and seems to dish out some good damage. Good for killing people who sneak up on me from behind.

I think it is a little too strong for what is essentially just some extra repair costs and minor weight. When you think about it too, I could put a bunch of wpf into 2hand without really sacrificing much in xbows since xbow wpf doesn't really add much to your accuracy capability past a certain point. I noticed looming the mace adds some great stats too

 :lol:

Eh.... mace got nerfed.  Used to be fun (faster) but now I dont even use it. Sold off my loomed one and so did a several others who used to use it.  Several one handers that are cheaper and have knockdown or higher damage that are better now.

add powerdraw or create an Attribute called crossbow !

Crossbowmen need to make choice: melee or ranged as should already do the archers

At 1 wpf you pay the upkeep every round...

Don't equip bolts. Your xbow will come loaded with 1 bolt only for the round beginning. Then just loot and shoot when you see them.

 if the problem is people that use the crossbows with 1 WPF.... then why not just make a WPF requirement

"Hunting crossbow 60 WPF required"
"Light crossbow 90 WPF required"
"Crossbow 110 WPF required"
"Heavy Crossbow 120 required"
"Arbalest 140 required"
Just an example of what could be done if that is even possible
would force people to actually place stats into "Crossbows" even if its just weapon proficiency, crossbows were ment to be easier to use than bows.

Longbowmen trained their whole life to beable to shoot something ac and effectively,
Crossbowmen trained after a few instructions on how to load it and the idea  that a unexperianced  crossbower can shoot about as effectly as a well trained bowmen - which is why it was outlawed by the pope lol

but for game balance add WPF requirements imo... but my opinion is worthless   :cry:

One stack of bolts costs 13 gold to upkeep.. not much to save for all that hazzle..

When you choose a xbow to play with you usually give up a lot of mobility on the battlefield. Also arba is not nearly as effective as it used to be - for dedicated xbow.
Archers use a little tiny hammer or a frickin sickle to block 2h swords and cleavers, why cant a inf carry a similar idiotic sidearm?

Nice job destroying any point that you may have had to make.
