=====Crossbow=====
: A crossbow consists of a prod (similar in appearance to a bow) mounted on a stock, which has a mechanism to wind and shoot its bolts.

: '''Light'''

:: Other names: Hand Crossbow

:: You can draw a light crossbow back by hand.

:: You can shoot, but not load, a light crossbow with one hand at no penalty.

: '''Medium'''

:: Other names: None

:: You draw a medium crossbow back by pulling a lever. Normally, operating a medium crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a medium crossbow with one hand at a –2 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a medium crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.

: '''Heavy'''

:: Other names: Arbalest

:: You draw a heavy crossbow back by turning a small winch. Normally, operating a heavy crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a heavy crossbow with one hand at a –4 penalty on attack rolls.

: '''Construct'''

: '''Repeating'''

:: The repeating crossbow (whether heavy or light) holds 5 crossbow bolts. As long as it holds bolts, you can reload it by pulling the reloading lever (an instantaneous action). Loading a new case of 5 bolts is a Long action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
