+ | A '''bow''' (not to be confused with a dwarven [[crossbow]]) is a ranged [[weapon]] that fires projectiles called [[arrow]]s. Bows behave similarly to crossbows for the most part, though they seem to be preferred by [[elf|elves]] and [[goblin]]s. | ||

+ | As ranged weapons, bows use and train the [[bowman]] (bowdwarf) skill; as melee weapons, bows use and train the [[swordsman]] (swordsdwarf) skill, instead. Dwarves cannot [[forge]] bows nor [[arrow]]s, limiting supply to artifacts, and whatever low-[[quality]] specimens can be traded from elven [[caravan]]s and scavenged from invaders. Due to their marked similarity to native weapons, your dwarves would likely be better served in battle with high-quality crossbows and bolts than inferior imported bows and arrows. All dwarves can equip bows. Bows do not have to be made out of [[wood]] - they can, [[Weapon#Material|like all other weapons]], also be made out of metal. | ||
