A heavy crossbow takes one combat round to load after being fired. Therefore, a player using any type of heavy crossbow (mundane, magical, Dwarven, etc.) will only be able to attack every other round. Even if a player has multiple heavy crossbow tokens, the cumbersome nature of this weapon–changing from heavy crossbow to heavy crossbow–will still incur a combat round penalty. Thus, carrying multiple heavy crossbows will have no net benefit (besides being realistically unfeasible).

non-magical weapon
Unlike a standard heavy crossbow, heavy repeating crossbows do not have the reload time penalty and can be fired every round.
When used to make a successful missile attack (slid as weapon on the combat board), this alchemical weapon deals up to 6 points of damage–but only to undead monsters. Though it is not stated on the token, the thrower need only hit AC 15 or higher. If the attack misses (hits AC 14 or lower) or if the target is not undead, Holy Water deals no damage. It is usable only once, whether the attack succeeds or misses.
When activated, this item entraps a monster in an extra-dimensional space for three rounds. There is no saving throw to resist the effect. Once used, the Hourglass will vanish.
During those three rounds, the party is free to act however they want. They could explore the room, heal, buff, or whatever strikes their fancy. At the end of the three rounds, the monster will reappear exactly where it was before being shunted to the extra-dimensional space.
Given to all players on the completion of their adventure in 2008, this token could be turned in for free admission to the True Dungeon Tavern that year.
Note: Though this token’s title was printed in blue and it bears a cauldron symbol, it’s not actually a Combo token because it did not require any tokens to be turned in.
Subtracts 2 points of damage from any spell or missile attack that hits the owner.
Sustains the character without air. It doesn’t actually allow the character to breathe in a hostile environment, it negates the need to breathe. It can be used underwater to avoid drowning, in water to avoid ingestion of toxic fluids, and on dry land to avoid inhaling toxic gas–though it has no effect on toxins which are absorbed through the skin or injected.
