Ammunition (range 100/400), heavy, loading, two-handed. Ammunition (range 80/320), loading, two-handed.ĥ0 gp - 1d10 piercing - 18 lbs. Ammunition (range 25/100), light, loading.Ģ5 gp - 1d8 piercing - 5 lbs. (Don't even get me started with Daryl's use of the crossbow in The Walking Dead.)ħ5 gp - 1d6 piercing - 3 lbs.

I am not alone in this either, crossbowmen around the world look at dismay in the way crossbows are being shown in D&D, movies, TV shows, and poorly researched fiction. My reasoning is because the rules don't reflect the time required to reload a crossbow, the sheer damage a crossbow does, their range, their ease of use, or their penetrating power.
