06-30-07, 12:01 PM Is there no rules for this? i find it hard to belive that a bow would shoot as well as a crossbow just due to arching. Though a can not find any rules that deal with this in the DMG or underdark book. According to novals and just physics it seems like there should be something.

Anyone know anything? or have suggestions?
