− | + | '''Crossbowman''' is the [[combat skill]] associated with using [[crossbow]]s in battle. Higher skill levels grant better accuracy and a higher rate of fire. Additionally, they significantly reduce the probability of the enemy dodging. A [[dwarf]] with this skill is given the name of '''marksdwarf'''. | |
While doing decent general [[Weapon#Weapon statistics|damage]], a [[bolt]] does a fine job at piercing the internal organs of a [[creature]], which can possibly cause organ failure, instant death, [[unconscious]]ness or crippling of any size target. This is of limited use against creatures without internal organs, such as [[Magma man|magma men]], but works well against most other creatures. Occasionally a bolt will get stuck in a target; the only known use for this is that a [[wrestling]] dwarf may grab the bolt and twist it in the [[wound]]. Functionally, [[arrow]]s work by the same laws, but they use the bowman skill instead. | While doing decent general [[Weapon#Weapon statistics|damage]], a [[bolt]] does a fine job at piercing the internal organs of a [[creature]], which can possibly cause organ failure, instant death, [[unconscious]]ness or crippling of any size target.
