Bows

A traditional hunting weapon, the bow is also commonly used in warfare. Made from a single piece of wood, or from a composition of wood, horn, or even metal, bows are a versatile weapon. They can be used during sieges, from horseback, in dense woodland, or in the open field. Archers usually carry another weapon to draw when the enemy gets closer; they seldom carry shields, as they can’t use them when shooting a bow.

The BOWS Combat Proficiency enables a Player-hero to make ranged attacks using a bow or a great bow.
