Bows

Description

Bows are simple ranged weapons that use arrows as ammo, Bows are very common and can be found with ease nearly anywhere.

Although bows deal less damage and have lower armor penetration than other ranged weapons they can be reloaded in just 1 turn, this allows the user to fire arrows constantly.

There are currently 3 types of bows in the game: Long bows, Short bows and Energy bows.
