Projectile weapons use ammunition: arrows (for bows), bolts (for crossbows), or sling bullets (for slings). When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading. Generally speaking, ammunition that hits its target is destroyed or rendered useless, while normal ammunition that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost. This is opposed to thrown weapons, which are assumed to be always retrievable, barring extraordinary circumstances.

For Bows and Crossbows, ammunition must be fitted to the appropriate weapon, and unless otherwise specified, they may not fire ammunition made for another weapon type. All longbows fire longbow arrows, which a shortbow may not fire. Slings, on the other hand, accept all bullets equally.

Ammunition

Projectile weapons use ammunition: arrows (for bows), bolts (for crossbows), or sling bullets (for slings). When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading. Generally speaking, ammunition that hits its target is destroyed or rendered useless, while normal ammunition that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost. This is opposed to thrown weapons, which are assumed to be always retrievable, barring extraordinary circumstances.

For Bows and Crossbows, ammunition must be fitted to the appropriate weapon, and unless otherwise specified, they may not fire ammunition made for another weapon type. All longbows fire longbow arrows, which a shortbow may not fire. Slings, on the other hand, accept all bullets equally.

Bodkin arrows(20) 3 4 One more range increment, bonus vs. chain.
