<p>AlStar: Small change in phrasing.</p> <hr /> <div>Crossbows are the only hand-held ranged weapon usable by dwarves. In addition to the metals usually used to make [[weapon]]s, crossbows can be made of bone or wood. Crossbows are created in the [[bowyer's workshop]], and the [[metalsmith's forge]], and require [[crossbow-making]] in both cases.<br /> <br /> Scoring a successful hit with a crossbow trains the [[marksdwarf]] skill, and a high skill in marksdwarf affects accuracy with the weapon. Practicing at an [[archery target]] also improves the [[marksdwarf]] skill.<br /> <br /> Crossbows fire [[bolt]]s which are made from bone, wood, or weapons-grade metals.<br /> <br /> Dwarves will not waste metal bolts on [[archery target]]s. In order for your dwarves to practice, they must have a steady supply of wooden or bone bolts.<br /> <br /> Quivers can be given to dwarves to hold bolts, although dwarves can hold bolts in their hands. Thus, a dwarf can effectively carry multiple stacks of bolts. Dwarves will place metal bolts in quivers in favor of wooden or bone bolts.<br /> <br /> If a dwarf is forced into melee combat while wielding a crossbow, the dwarf uses the [[hammerdwarf]] skill. It is therefore useful for marksdwarves to be trained in the hammerdwarf skill, for example by switching them from crossbow to wielding a hammer once they become a [[Champion]] marksdwarf (which tactic also prevents wooden/bone bolts being needlessly wasted by dwarfs who need no further training).<br /> <br /> [[Category:Weapons]][[Category:Traps]]</div>
