Mainhand
This small crossbow fires smaller bolts than normal crossbows and does not require the use of both hands to use.
Like all ranged weapons, it comes with an infinite supply of mundane ammunition. If the player wants to use specialized ammunition, the bolt token must specify “hand crossbow” as other bolts are too big to be fired from this weapon.
When played by a bard, in addition to the standard bardsong bonuses, this instrument reduces the amount of Darkrift damage dealt to all party members by 2. It does not matter if the Darkrift attack is targeted at an individual or affects multiple victims, as long as the bard is performing bardsong with this instrument and the recipient of the damage is a member of the party, the Darkrift damage is reduced.
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).
This weapon deals an additional 3 damage when it’s used to score a hit against Undead.
Note: This token is named for something it resembles, not for its function. It does not literally sprinkle Holy Water.
