New Bows

[SidX]

I was thinking of all of the possible weapon options different classes have here on UOF. I really think Archery could use 1 or 2 more bow types, particularly the Composite Bow and Repeating Crossbow.

Current weapon selections:

Mace Fighting:

Club, Mace, Gnarled Staff, Hammer Pick, Maul, Quarter Staff, Shepherd's Crook, Sledge Hammer, War Axe, War Hammer

Swordsmanship:

Axe, Bardiche, Battle Axe, Broadsword, Butcher Knife, Cleaver, Cutlass, Double Axe, Executioner's Axe, Halberd, Hatchet, Katana, Longsword, Scimitar, Two-handed Axe, Viking Sword

Fencing:

Dagger, Kryss, Pitchfork, Short Spear, Spear, War Fork

Archery:

Bow, Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow

-----

Archery is lacking and it would add a nice change to the monotony of archery.

+1 Yes YES YES ... Not sure why there are not in game now ,, unless they are being reserved for future dono items ... which would be sad .

If also like to see fetching get a ship upgrade. Something like a harpoon or ballista would be cool. Have it make it so the on a successful hit both boats are frozen in place or pulled together for 20 seconds.

But yes more variety in bows or at the very least tweak heavy and regular cross bows so they are viable in something besides stealth archer groups.

They need to raise the exceptional rate at gm as well. Its ridiculous that at gm you only have a 58% chance on exceptional for a weapon you learned at 30 skill.
Im all for new bow/ranged weapons
