Sample objects - ranged weapons and projectiles

There are two types of ranged weapons. The first being those that double as hand to hand weapons as well. Small axes and daggers can be thrown as well. These are denoted with a green asterik (*) on the Weapon Types Listing. This lesson however covers the second type of ranged weapon. This type needs projectiles/ammunition to be used. This includes weapons like bows and crossbows. It is a good idea when making a ranged weapon in your area to also have the projectiles that are used in the weapon available too.

longbow~
It is a long bow, as tall as a tall man.  It is simply carved,
and uses animal gut for a bowstring.

A projectile needs to have the weapon type set that it will work with. Crossbow bolts will not work in longbows for instance.
